Uncle Geza goes on a trip to Ukraine following the footsteps of his beloved grandfather Petar Kutoš, who fought on the Austro-Hungarian side against the Russians during the First World War. There wouldn’t be anything special about this trip, if the bird that announces death, would not begin to scream in the orchard in front of the Kutoš family’s house. This causes turmoil among the travelers. Nevertheless, they go to Ukraine and it seems that everything will be fine and that this will be just another nostalgic journey of grandchildren following the footsteps of their grandfathers. Then, in the middle of the journey towards Zaturci, a message from military museum comes up that Peter Kutoš could not fight in Zaturci in 1916, since he was called into the army in 1917, a year later. That changes everything. And this will have to be said to Geza…
