Nae, living in a small village in eastern Romania, receives a telegram from France announcing the death of his long lost uncle Luca. Nae and his mother embark on a journey to fulfil Luca’s last wish - to be buried in the cemetery of his Romanian hometown. At the house of the deceased, they meet a shaman, Luca’s friend Ata, who tells them that Luca’s fortune has been lost and the only thing left is an unusual coffin. Since the Romanian tradition requires the soul to retrace its life’s steps during the forty days of mourning, Luca’s soul chooses to inhabit Nae in order to return to its last resting place.
