Isaac is a young Australian photographer travelling through Europe in search of the old-world sophistication of his father's stories and dismayed at the homogenous and globalized contemporary society he encounters. However, as he moves from country to country, the facade is slowly stripped away, revealing a continent condemned by the ghosts of its unspeakable past. When Isaac reaches the Balkan village where his mother was born, he encounters ancient terrors not yet laid to rest.
