This film documents the life of an elderly man who has been wandering for over 30 years. Beneath his escape from reality and his survival through scavenging lies a deep-seated pain that is difficult to reconcile with his family of origin. He is unable to relinquish his resentment towards his father, yet he deeply misses his relatives, his hometown, and the dog that once accompanied him. As we accompany him on his journey back home and assist him in returning to his roots, the secrets concealed in his heart are gradually uncovered. After a lifetime of wandering, where will his heart ultimately find rest?
