At the end of the 19th century, a young man named Poncho travels with his donkey Mago through the wilderness of northern Croatia, carrying goods he intends to sell at a fair. On a forest road, he comes across a cart stuck in the mud and two strangers, Stef and Lujo, who have lost their horses after a night storm. Despite his hesitation, he helps them pull the cart out, setting in motion a series of events that will change the course of his fate.
