The protagonist is a young man – imprisoned for life. His past, however, remains unclear. He comes to live on a deserted island in a lighthouse filled with books. Apparently, his life's only meaning now is to read them. Only reading them could somehow set him free.

The primary motif of the documentary is the journey. A metaphorical journey, a spiritual journey, a tangible journey, a forest path, a road, a sidewalk, a drug trip, or a journey abroad. The director pastes together a collage of micro-stories of people and places that comment on the journey. Her documentary oscillates between playful absurdism, existentialism and existential questions, environmentalism, and social commentary. The dynamism and rhythm of the narrative are then determined by the jumps between different forms of video, such as analogue film, digital film, and mobile phone filming.
