She was one year old when she first lost her father. He left her mother and never came back to them. Now she's an adult, living in Prague, afraid she'll never see him. When he left her as a child, she doesn't remember ever seeing him. In this documentary diary, we follow the spoken and unspoken correspondence between an abandoned daughter and a father defending his homeland.
