Film drama centers on Mityo, who lives in a small, impoverished Bulgarian village close to the border with Turkey and Greece. When Mityo loses his job, it is a heavy blow. Now he has lost everything that matters to him: his wife, his work and his son Vasko’s confidence.
Out of desperation, Mityo agrees to smuggle illegal immigrants from Syria into Bulgaria through a steep mountain pass. Soon, the revelation of a terrible secret forces Mityo to face the past. On his final trip, Mityo is left at the mercy of Judgment Mountain. Can he be forgiven for a terrible sin committed during his military service 25 years earlier? Has he left it too late to make amends for the crimes of the past?
