The film follows Nives Jagodić in her research about her grandfather Dr. Joza Jagodić, doctor in Bjelovar's general hospital, who posthumously got the acknowledgement ‘’Righteous among the Nations’’. Through her travels and conversation with the man whose life was saved by Dr. Joza Jagodić, we will find how much he risked throughout the whole WW2 in order to save civilians from certain death. His example will show us what makes people do something noble and righteous and even risk their own lives.
