72-year-old Ingrid, who is grieving the death of her husband, leaves half the country to visit relatives with her golden retriever Roshi. But a new disaster happens to her on a visit: Roshi runs away and, frightened by fireworks and a pack of stray dogs, gets hopelessly lost. Ingrid returns home alone, where she now mourns both her husband and the dog. However, distance does not interfere with loyalty: Roshi is determined to find Ingrid and will not give up until he returns to his most important friend. Roshi spends almost a year on the road, meeting people who help him every now and then. These are very different people — prosperous and beaten by life, ready for change and giving up on themselves. And they all have a lot to learn from the purposeful and life-loving dog, who is called Roshi, the "old teacher" in Zen Buddhism, for a reason: sometimes he understands them better than they do themselves, and never refuses to help those who need it.
