Eva and Simon have spent most of their adult lives together. He is a physician and she is a teacher, and they have three grown daughters and a comfortable home. Yet what binds them together isn’t only affection and solidarity but also the painful facts of their respective histories, which they keep hidden even from their own children. But after the abrupt dismissal of their housekeeper and Simon’s increasing withdrawal into himself, the past can no longer be repressed.

En ung mand vandrer mod nord med et kompas i lommen. På flugt fra krig og ødelæggelse, gennem en kaotisk verden og resterne af en civilisation. En dag kommer han forbi en dreng, der sidder oppe i et træ. Drengen følger efter ham, og sammen vandrer de to i den mørke nat langs marker og gennem skove - i landskaber præget af både stor skønhed og ødelæggelse. En dag finder de et barn, som de tager med, men senere bliver nødt til at aflevere hos en familie, da barnet er i fare for at dø af sult.
