"The Dry Valley" portrays a Romanian village and its inhabitants. For Valea Seaca People Scandinavia became their second home. Most of them travel regularly to Europe to earn money and support their families, often as beggars or unskilled laborers. In order to find the traces of the journey to Scandinavia, two Norwegian filmmakers start to explore the village. A surprising and poetic depiction of the effects of migration on those who leave and are left behind.
