Dos historias de vida en apariencia inconexas descubren el nudo que las une en Ecuador. Vera Kohn, psicóloga y maestra zen, llegó al Ecuador huyendo de la segunda guerra mundial en 1939. Hace unos pocos años, Bernhard Hetzenauer, se conecta con ella. Ambos tienen algo en común. La película establece un diálogo entre la historia de vida de Kohn, que tuvo que abandonar Praga para huir del régimen nazi, y el peso que ejerce sobre Hetzenauer el vínculo que tuvo su abuelo con el nazismo en esa misma época.
