Told he has only months to live, a man leaves the city behind and drives into the countryside, where he proceeds to seek answers in a small village.
Radu lives a solitary, sterile life. A promising job interview seems to give him a chance of breaking free from depression, but after some medical tests required by the company, he finds out that he only has a few more months left to live. He leaves the city and after weeks of driving, exhausted, he stops in the middle of a village. An old man, Nea Pavel, takes him in and so he decides to stay in this village.
Time passes and Radu begins to live a new life, forgetting about death and enjoying the simplicity of the moment. Together with the old man he roams the environs “seeking for wind”. But when he realizes that he has fallen in love with a woman from the village, he remembers his imminent ending. Where will the wind take him from there? Can Radu forget about death?
