Picturesque and intellectual, with a few secrets.
Successful businessman Jakov Petrić leaves the City and moves to the Valley.
The Valley offers a picturesque life in a small town where people must learn to live unobtrusively alongside one another, yet it also reveals secrets that prove essential to Jakov’s life.
Shortly after his arrival, he receives an anonymous letter that changes everything he believed about his family history. Without Lea and Adelina, he forms new friendships with the local priest Domagoj and his neighbors Filip and Patricija. As he discovers new talents in his carpentry workshop and helps defend the Valley against beavers, he finds himself caught between a demanding assignment alongside Juraj in armor and a search for truth that becomes a matter of life and death.
