Tibor (Slovene, 37) meets the father of his girlfriend Marion on a desolate site in Berlin just after she mysteriously disappeared. He explains that she suddenly vanished while he was standing next to her. They are desperately searching for her the whole day, but find nothing.

Tibor spends the next days alone in the flat where they lived together. Not knowing where to search further, he is waiting for Marion to reappear.

Alone in a foreign city, he starts visiting Marion’s parents. They seem cold towards him, but tolerate his presence. Time passes by and the police investigation does no bring any results. It seems they stopped working on the case altogether.

After the awkward party for their daughter’s birthday which they celebrate in her absence, Marion’s father finally tells Tibor to get lost. The next day he comes and takes all of her daughter’s belongings out of the flat.

Now Tibor starts spending his days at the desolate site, systematically searching the ground. One day he finds a piece of paper with a message. He starts digging and soon comes across an underground tunnel. He follows it, going deeper and deeper, until it suddenly ends. The only way forward is down into a dark abyss. Tibor jumps.

He wakes up in his hometown of Ljubljana, in the flat of his ex-girlfriend whom he left for Marion. They take off from where they left, but Tibor cannot forget Marion. The train takes him across the plain to Berlin.

There on the street he meets her. He moves in with her and they happily live together. One day they go to the desolate site …
