In April 1945 Vojtech Gál was murdered on the way from the concentration camp in Sachsenhausen to Schwerin. In April 2008 his son walked the same route in an attempt to find his father`s grave and leave a testimony.
He was accompanied by friends, filmmakers and fellow pilgrims. They did not understand everything they came across. They could not comprehend some of the people with whom they talked. But it never occurred to them even for a moment that they were travelling without aim or meaning.
They provide a harsh personal view of this, their journey.
