Jozef embarks on a journey via a ghostly train to visit his dying father in a remote Galician sanatorium. Upon arrival, he discovers that the sanatorium exists in a realm where time is distorted—his father's death has not yet occurred, as time here lags behind the outside world by an undefined interval. Jozef's experiences become increasingly fragmented and dreamlike as he confronts various manifestations of his father, each representing different aspects of their relationship and his own psyche.

Months after disappearance, the mother of a missing daughter begins her own increasingly irrational investigation.

1984, Poland. The investigation into a stolen Catholic relic takes an unexpected turn when the detective unravels a web that suggests the crime has far-reaching political implications.
