Spanish filmmaker Isabel Coixet travels to Siberia to attend a film festival where an unknown man —with whom she cannot communicate and who reminds her of her father— hands her a box containing the photographs of a lifetime. In Barcelona, she tries to put the images in order and unravel their mystery.
