Sixteen year old Chris was last seen on a bridge over the boisterous Vistula River in Warsaw, captured by rotating CCTV camera. Since that moment, his father Daniel and his wife, Agnieszka, have lived suspended between desperate hope and paralyzing fear. Unable to wait passively for an unlikely breakthrough in the police investigation, Daniel builds a custom boat outfitted with cameras and drones, determined to probe the river’s murky depths himself. This marks the beginning of an all-consuming search. The long, solitary hours on the water become a reckoning, pushing Daniel to reexamine the life he lived before Chris disappeared. As months slip by and heartbreak deepens, he wrestles with the tension between the relentless impulse to keep searching and the painful reality of a home reshaped by the probability of irreversible loss.
