We are on the edge of Finisterrae, regarded in ancient times as the "Last Stop", beyond it there was nothing but the big expanse of the ocean.
From this place the ancient pilgrims threw their dirty clothes down into the ocean so they could leave everything before turning back.
Amin Lazar, a polish pilgrim, is trying to understand where the way ends and what he has to do: stop and go back home or keep walking, maybe forever...
