60-year-old meteorologist Ilie has spent his entire life working on a mountaintop far away from his family. Lucian, a 22-year-old novice, has just arrived on his first year of duty. Employed by the Romanian state, the two meteorologists work on an outpost in the mountainous region of Transylvania. Their Kafkaesque job is to keep track of the ever-changing wind and humidity, which hour after hour they register and report to Bucharest. The old man likes to drink pălincă and sometimes, when he has had too much, he yells at his young apprentice. The camera becomes a confidant of these two men enclosed by clouds.
