A man passes by a young woman on a bridge one evening and fails to intervene in her eventual suicidal leap leading to deep feelings of remorse. As he spends his days at work in the Latvian national archive, he sets out to find any traces of the woman's existence and becomes entangled in the lives of her loved ones. German director Fred Kelemen previously worked with Hungarian master Belà Tarr and achieves a similar sense of beautiful misery as his former mentor in his achingly exquisite visual compositions.
