Without a Trace

Everyone was told that today was the last day, that the sun would set today and never rise again - there would be no tomorrow. Several episodes of different people's lives. We live and do not notice that days and years are passing by. We are chasing financial well-being, status, forgetting about relatives and friends, about real values. Wasting time on all sorts of nonsense and imaginary ideals, we have forgotten how to enjoy simple things. The film is about the love of life and the moments that embody it.
