Irreversibly damaged by a recent tragedy, Matija and Ika's family is divided over whether to leave their valley like their fellow villagers, who flee head over heels, afraid of the imminent political extremism which marks them as chosen or undesirable ones. During Matija's transformation from a man who has lost faith to a man who has found his true self, the dawn which illuminates the valley makes it clear that facing up with trauma and evil is the only way to fight against them.
