Krystian raakt gefascineerd door die vraag als hij in de zomer van 1927 aan een doodskist werkt voor een naar verluidt van verlangen gestorven vrouw. Dan is er de depressieve dokterszoon, Mikolaj, en de oude dementerende Aniela, die geen heden meer heeft, en ook geen toekomst. Maar achter het grauwe alledaagse leven en de ondefinieerbare gevoelens van deze dorpsgenoten bruist het van de emoties. Wanneer Krystians dochter op zoek gaat naar de Duivel, de zwerver die eigenlijk Adam heet en met zijn hond God in de bossen leeft, zet dat alles in beweging. Hun lotgevallen vermengen zich en grijpen in elkaar – tenslotte is niemand een eiland, iedereen resoneert met iemand anders.
