Matei, a young shepherd boy living in the outskirts of Romania, finds more comfort among his sheep than with his abusive, alcoholic dad. But now Matei is starting to mimic his father's violence, he's faced with a question: 'Who am I?'

The story of an apology. A turbulent mother and son relationship manifests in the form of intoxication induced flashbacks, experienced by the son while dancing away the heartache and guilt on the dancefloor of the city's dingiest nightclub. Regardless of his attempts to escape from the consequences of his actions, he is ultimately faced with a choice in order to accept the past and repair the relationship.

In an interview with a humble postman, a mysterious death becomes the focus of his life as he was the first to discover the corpse. His days of innocently delivering letters in the Desert Hills now feel empty without the presence of the Sand Woman, whose death might turn out to be more violent than it seems.
