Stories about parent-child relationships, fate, and the unknown forces that guide our steps unfold across several continents. A Japanese businessman wants to reconcile with the daughter he abandoned as a child and sets off with her on a journey to the Himalayas. Like him, a single mother in the Czech Republic receives a mysterious letter with important news. A painter and recovering alcoholic meets a beautiful woman and with her an unexpected opportunity for family life. A writer takes his friend and their inner demons on an expedition to the Indonesian jungle. A priest in New York has to deal with strange dreams, and an old man waits for his son to visit him in a remote place somewhere on the Baltic Sea coast. Each of the heroes faces a fundamental change in their lives, and their actions can influence the story of the others. Their separate journeys begin to intertwine and eventually merge into one great story of life.
