Argos was the name of Ulysses' dog. Only he recognized him when he returned home disguised as a vagrant after twenty years of warlike odysseys. Vera (a superb Ariella Reggio) is an elderly woman with Alzheimer's who fled Pula (Istria) after World War II. And York is the name of the dog she had as a child. A dog that, like Argos, is a symbol of home and the land to which she now returns on a road trip organized by her friend Beatrice (Maria Ariis) to discover something seemingly as simple as her mother's birthdate. The mother, the daughter, and the squeaky-clean Clara (Lucia Limonta) embark on a journey that confronts them with the past and memory, with the silence that always surrounds exile. Three generations, three lives, three personalities, and many miles traveled in a beat-up car to process the past and the present, to shed light on the unknown.

There are painful questions that only those who have experienced the death of a partner can answer. Which side of the bed should the surviving partner sleep on? When should you throw away the toothbrush of the one who has passed away? How do you set the table when there are no longer four of you, but three? Tessa Harry and Montse Clotet's partners, Josh and Aleix, died seven years ago, when Tessa was 30 and Montse was 42. They met in a bereavement support group a few months after their respective losses. Both had a strong and supportive network around them, and yet they felt profoundly alone. "There are situations that are difficult to understand if you haven't experienced them. Grief is very lonely, and everyone has their own way of coping," Clotet points out. The bond they forged helped them move forward and connect in a special way. "We would send each other a song, or a picture of a book we were reading. That was all it took; we already knew what we were saying to each other," says Harry.
