Ivan is a retired music teacher in his late 70s, and has grown weary of life. His estranged son never matched up to his expectations anyway, he is still eaten up with jealousy of his brother, who always enjoys life to the full, and - above all - he cannot keep up with the changes around him. He buys himself a plot in a graveyard with an beautiful view of the Alps and checks into a retirement home so he can wait for his death in peace. However, the exact opposite happens: for the first time in his life Ivan starts to actually live.

Brass music gone astray: a brass band from provincial Slovenia on tour in Austria. Alongside the music they mainly party, with culture-clash and generational conflicts always smoothed out with the help of a drink. Things don't always go smoothly between hosts and guests however, the younger members of the band often feel out of place in the presence of their elders, and yet in the end they always come together again in this closely captured and yet distant milieu study on tour brimming with authenticity.
