The stories of the inhabitants of Czernowitz. Exiles return to see their city, while their offspring discover it. Among them is the American actor, Harvey Keitel, walking through the forgotten city that was formerly home to 150,000 people (including the poet Paul Celan) and to many languages and cultures. For them this journey towards their origins is a return to the past and an adventure in the present.
