Marian Kuffa is a priest in a small village of Zakovce in Slovakia. At his presbytery he cares for the homeless, former prisoners, boys and girls from orphanages, the handicapped and abused mothers with children. Over this time the priest has hosted almost two hundred people. Kuffa has seen some who have stayed with him die, he has also seen birth, his constant is that people always move on. This is a film about strong faith and the value of sacrifice, about how much a single person is capable of giving to another, and how this act creates loss as well as affirmative meaning in peoples lives.
