Time moves at its own slow rhythm in the village of Sinagovci. When the mayor, an avid racing driver, donates a rusty old bus, a fragile dream of romantic journeys begins to take shape. Poets, a painter, a tractor driver, a fortune teller, and a handful of free spirits long for places which lead elsewhere. Some are waiting for Godot; others for a hot meal or a measure of dignity. Blending raw poetry, humour, and melancholy, Welcome to Sinagovci is a documentary portrait of a community where reality and fantasy intertwine, and where meaning is found in the simple, dreamlike act of being.

Alone in her empty flat, from her window Anne observes the people passing by who nervously snatch up the personal belongings and pieces of furniture she has put out on the pavement. Her final gesture of taking a ring off her finger signals she is leaving her previous life in Holland behind. She goes to Ireland, where she chooses to lead a solitary, wandering existence, striding through the austere landscapes of Connemara. During her travels, she discovers a house that is home to a hermit, Martin.
