Plot synopsis
In Salamanca, time stopped two hundred years ago when the first Menonites left for Mexico, in search of a refuge on earth. Here everything is determined in advance and the life of the descendants repeats the life of the ancestors. The personal life of an individual is only part of the history of the lineage. And the story of a single man testifies for any other man. While the hero recalls his childhood while trying to find the right answer to a vital question, the days, months and years pass unhurriedly in Salamanca.
