The film is shot in Cismigiu Gardens, one of the oldest public parks in Bucharest. This park is a central space attracting people from all walks of life, a place for social interaction and solitary reflection. Interweaving voices that recollect the past with glimpses of present-day scenes from the park, the film constructs a montage of stillness and motion, images and voices, landscapes and people.
