Mitrovica is a city in Kosovo ethnically divided between Albanians and Serbs. The landscape of the place frozen by conflict narrates two poems about the dying mothers. Two people seem to be lost in ruins and the cherry trees blossom.

When his car breaks down in a desolate rural area, Noir, an emotionally lost actor, accidentally meets Anna, an enigmatic girl who walks through the landscape as if he doesn't exist. Following her, he is drawn into a strange and poetic journey, where Anna's pauses and the landscape awaken hazy memories of a lost love. As reality and memory intertwine, Anna leads Noir to an old cemetery, where he discovers that she is long dead. Confronting her grave becomes his moment of awakening, realizing that the journey was a spur to accept the pain and restore meaning to his life.
