The film documents the origin and traditional cultivation of an autochthonous kind of onion from the village of Raka, that is cultivated from the seed. It presents the local music group Raški č’bularji. The audience learns, why this onion is so good for one’s health and how the reputation of being onioners affected the locals. Because Melania Trump’s grandfather was the first to plant it, they are wondering if she will ever come back to Raka. Laced with humor the film offers a look into the old ways.
