A family drama about refuge and reconciliation, where an eccentric father's apocalyptic worldview becomes the backdrop for healing fractured bonds between generations.

Marta decides to take her daughters, Agáta and Mína, leave her toxic husband, and start over. She finds refuge in the house of her father, an eccentric loner who has spent his entire life preparing for the end of the world. Their time together reveals long-suppressed family conflicts, many of them triggered by the husband. When Milan accuses Marta of kidnapping the children, the father drives him away, strengthening the bond with his daughter.
