30-year-old Danielius has been living in Norway for over a decade. He has everything he needs a job, a family, and friends. But when his father passes away, he is forced to return to his hometown in Lithuania to sell his childhood flat. Arriving at the end of summer, the small resort town feels like a temporary retreat. Yet he quickly realizes that everything has changed. As Danielius reconnects with familiar places, old friends, and lingering memories, he is confronted by a quiet sense of loneliness. Instead of resisting, he allows himself to explore it. Between farewells and fleeting moments, Danielius embraces the present.

30 ವರ್ಷದ ಡೇನಿಯಲಸ್ ಕಳೆದ ಒಂದು ದಶಕದಿಂದ ನಾರ್ವೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಾಸಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಕೆಲಸ, ಕುಟುಂಬ ಮತ್ತು ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರು ಹೀಗೆ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಬೇಕಾದ ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ಅಲ್ಲಿವೆ. ಆದರೆ ಅವನ ತಂದೆ ನಿಧನರಾದಾಗ, ತನ್ನ ಬಾಲ್ಯದ ಮನೆಯನ್ನು ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡಲು ಅವನು ಲಿಥುವೇನಿಯಾದ ತನ್ನ ಹುಟ್ಟೂರಿಗೆ ಮರಳಲೇಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಬೇಸಿಗೆಯ ಕೊನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಬಂದಾಗ, ಆ ಪುಟ್ಟ ರೆಸಾರ್ಟ್ ಪಟ್ಟಣವು ಒಂದು ತಾತ್ಕಾಲಿಕ ವಿಶ್ರಾಂತಿ ತಾಣದಂತೆ ಭಾಸವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದರೆ ಶೀಘ್ರದಲ್ಲೇ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಎಲ್ಲವೂ ಬದಲಾಗಿರುವುದು ಅರಿವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಡೇನಿಯಲಸ್ ಹಳೆಯ ಪರಿಚಿತ ಸ್ಥಳಗಳು, ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರು ಮತ್ತು ಮರೆಯಾಗದ ನೆನಪುಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತೆ ಬೆರೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದಂತೆ, ಒಂದು ರೀತಿಯ ಒಂಟಿತನ ಅವನನ್ನು ಕಾಡತೊಡಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಅದನ್ನು ವಿರೋಧಿಸುವ ಬದಲಿಗೆ, ಅನ್ವೇಷಿಸಲು ತೊಡಗುತ್ತಾನೆ. ವಿದಾಯಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಕ್ಷಣಿಕ ಕ್ಷಣಗಳ ನಡುವೆ, ಡೇನಿಯಲಸ್ ವರ್ತಮಾನವನ್ನು ಅಪ್ಪಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ.
