Priča prati njihovu sudbinu od samih početaka naseljavanja u ovu regiju, preko položaja za vreme Drugog svetskog rata, pa sve do sadašnjeg vremena.Film govori o Mariji, devojci koja je potomak Podunavskih Švaba. Ona dolazi u Vojvodinu da pronađe staru kuću svoga dede koji je proteran posle Drugog svetskog rata. Tu upoznaje lokalnog momka Mišu koji joj pomaže u njenom poduhvatu. Zajedno putuju po Vojvodini, susreću svedoke traumatičnih posleratnih događaja koji su preživeli komunističke logore, i otkrivaju potpuno nove činjenice o životu Podunavskih Švaba koje su decenijama bile skrivane od javnosti.Realizaciju filma pomogli:
