A young man crosses Europe in search of a new Ithaca. Disillusioned with his own country, he moves from a meager grape harvest in arid Banyuls-sur-mer to Brussels and a seductive, if wistful, encounter with a young woman there. Lastly, he hides out in a soulless suite in a Rotterdam skyscraper, where, like an angel of death, he sets in motion a grisly game seasoned with drugs and a digital daze.

Mr. Emmer is a jaded Film Director, Catarina the assistant of an absent Producer. Together they embark on a journey in search of Hölderlin's places, for a never forgotten project on the German poet. But during the journey their aspirations will prove to be an obstacle for the realisation of any work. A love song for a suffering Nature.

The film retraces the events of a trail in the Pyrenees, which fleeing fascism that was infecting the heart of Europe. Catalans and internationalist militants fleeing the Franco regime before; Jews, communists and dissidents by the Nazis shortly after.
