Arev, a 19 y. o. student, pays a visit to her family while on vacation. Early in the morning, her father leaves the place without saying anything to anyone. Her grandmother finds out that her son has left the place and speaks that out loud. Later they start blaming each other on father`s sudden disappearance. The daughter gets on her bicycle and goes through fields, mountains and other places, where her father used to go. While searching for her father Arev keeps recalling how everyone would hurt her father, the complicated relationship between her mother and her grandmother, the silence of her brother and whose fault is that father has suddenly disappeared. As a result of total indifference the girl feels the loneliness and there is the same question in her brain: "Dad, you still love me?" In search of her biological father she tries to understand who is the Father for Homo Sapiens and why all of us go for this painful search. While searching for her father she finds three meaningful signs that seem to tell her that her father will be back home someday.
