What is a man, the life, its values, its meanings, its vows, its hardships, its beauties and joys!? This film, a kind of an arranged kaleidoscope composed of several stories, miniature vignettes, tends to reach some answers through this ode to the mountains, the mountain people, their wisdom and their experiences, expressing the uniqueness of Montenegrin rural people's ethos, the principles and values they adhere to, their steadfastness, and the beauty of their space under the stars.
