14 years after Evelyn decided to commit suicide, those closest to him set out on a trek through the countryside. They want to finally break the silence and openly discuss the entire situation.

Here, documentary maker Orlando von Einsiedel, who usually covers conflicts in Congo or Syria, decided to focus on a very personal theme: coming to terms with his brother’s death. On a trip through the British countryside, where Evelyn felt at home, he records conversations with family members and closest friends. As the landscape gradually changes, so do the emotions of all those involved, from smiling memories of shared moments to bitter tears and self-blame. How will the attempt to reach a deeper understanding and reconciliation end?
