Uka is an old Albanian who lives in the mountains on the border of Kosovo and Albania. As an honorable man, he must deal with his son who befriended Italian fascists during WW2. The war penetrated the roadless area of Prokletije, which peaks are covered with eternal mists. The occupier murdered two sons of Vuk, and he cut two poplar trees down. The youngest son, Dzahid, crosses to the enemy side and, under his leadership, the fratricidal war is raging: first victims are his school mates and his first love. Dzahid thus broke the laws of his homeland, written for centuries. The verdict is given by his father, who cuts down the last poplar tree in front of his house at Prokletije slope.
