A Spanish commercial traveller is working at his company's branch office in eastern Europe, where he had lived during the troubled years of the 80s. As the Cold-War world order splits and gives way to global capitalism, the commercial traveller returns to Prague, Bucharest and Sofia, where he meets up with some of the people who are essential to his life, and is astounded to witness the changes historical events and the passage of time make upon his way of life, his values and his activities. His final journey to Prague becomes the point of departure for an astonishing life journey brought about by his reencounter with Kamila, a colleague who disappeared without trace. This search is just the beginning of other reencounters that show the hero who the people he lived with really were and what lay beneath their secrecy.
