幽暗荒蕪的非法邊境，兩個父親來此尋找他們的孩子，一個隻想把意外死亡的兒子帶回故鄉安葬，但卻付不出錢買回被盜占的屍體；一個希望失蹤的女兒一切安好，但卻發現難以忍受的心碎事實。意外、死亡、犯罪、強暴、淩辱......，一切的追尋都走向宿命的哀傷，他們的生命也在無邊無盡的苦難汪洋中，尋找著最後一片救贖的浮木，絕望中，幻想著希望的曙光。 羅馬尼亞新銳導演西尼沙德雷金繼2002年以《Every Day God Kisses Us on the Mouth》勇奪鹿特丹影展金虎獎等國際肯定後，又一探討社會人性的深刻力作。全片以風格獨特的黑色魔幻影像，細膩勾勒出東歐曆經戰亂內鬥、宗教對立、動蕩政治等多重衝擊之後的荒謬景況，一出出悲哀至極的人生慘劇，一幕幕民族與曆史的創痛，都在影像的娓娓敘述中，觸動人性底層最溫暖的渴望。 Two fathers, a Romanian searching for his daughter who was forced into prostitution in Kosovo, and a Serbian seeking the body of his son killed in a car accident in Romania, meet on the river Danube. A boatman recounts the 200 year-old legend of Romanian peasants struggling unsuccessfully to move an old wooden church up the hill to their village at a time when building Orthodox churches was prohibited.
