   The  story of Jan  and his mother reveals the fate of thousands victims from  GULAGs.

   None of his names is his real one. He never met his father, he doesn`t know whether he is a child of love or violence. He doesn`t even know, where his homeland is. This documentary is a story of Jan Antal who was born 57 years ago in a Russian gulag to a wrongfully deported Slovak mother. This is the  first time he comes together with his daughter to places where he was born and spent the first six years of his life. He went to the end of the world with one question: "Did you know my father?".
