The story of Mityo and his son Vasko, who live in a poor area near the Bulgarian-Turkish-Greek border.
Mityo is on the verge of a breakdown. He's lost his wife, and his relations with his 18-year-old son get worse with every day. He's also lost the job that enabled him to slowly get out of debt. If he doesn't pay off his loan he'll lose his mortgaged house. With his back to the wall, he accepts a proposal from the Captain - his former commander from when he served in the military. His job is to smuggle illegal immigrants across the border. The road leads across a peak called The Judgment, a place that brings back dark memories. When Vasko discovers his father's secret he loses any remaining trust in him. Desperate, Mityo takes one last, very risky assignment to regain his son's trust and find redemption.
