József & Kati have been living in the middle of nowhere on a small farm for their entire lives and nobody else is living there anymore. They have a minimal relationship with the world which surrounds them. Their son, Sanyika is a true cosmopolitan, who always calls his parents on their mobile phone he left behind. This modern device is totally alien for these two people. József is particularly annoyed by the device and refuses to use it; on the other hand, Kati is always waiting for their son's call. They work in silence and Kati only communicates in a few words with József. After Kati dies, József has a dream, where he finds himself on a hill full of crosses in the presence of a MAN who refers to himself as the cross-maker. The cross, or destiny, karma of somebody, as we say: "Everyone bears their own cross."

Felix Cox (28) is an internationally renowned American skydiver. His roots can be traced back to Hungary as his grandfather was Hungarian. He had immigrated to the USA shortly after the 1956 Hungarian upraising. Felix has a reputation for being “The Daredevil” of extreme sports due to his infamously egoistic and reckless personality. He is also well-known for breaking records in landing with the greatest precision. This time his aim is to land at a spot in the middle of Budapest. The jump is the main event of the opening ceremony of the first ever Hungarian Immigration Conference called: “Land: Hungary”. His grandfather's recent passing motivated Felix to return to his roots. Felix screws up his jump and, instead of landing in Budapest, he ends up in a tree, on an isolated farm, where he meets Ivan and Beno...
