Count Tibor Kalnoky was born in Germany, and lived there, as well as in the USA, Holland and France. Some years ago, he decided to settle in Transylvania, being the descendant of one of the oldest Transylvanian noble families. Today he is a public figure and an active participant in the development of the region. When he first went there in search of his roots, he found the two family castles in ruin. The film follows his account of the restoration process, which in the count's opinion must be much more than reconstructing walls. “Restoration can be a paradox,” as he puts it, and it is difficult to change the face of things without destroying their spirit. The decoration of the rooms, combining tradition and modern comfort with exquisite taste, proves that Kalnoky succeeded to find this balance. More than just a story of the restoration of two old buildings, the film is an allegory of how a man reconnects to the spirit of his roots.

Contele Tibor Kalnoky s-a nascut in Germania, a trait in Statele Unite, in Olanda si in Franta. Descendent al uneia dintre cele mai vechi familii de nobili transilvaneni, s-a stabilit in urma cu cativa ani in Transilvania. intre timp, a devenit o persoana publica si participa activ la dezvoltarea zonei. La sosirea sa, contele a gasit cele doua castele ale familiei in ruina. Filmul urmareste procesul de restaurare a castelelor, relatat din perspectiva personala a contelui Kalnoky. In opinia sa, restaurarea inseamna mult mai mult decit reconditionarea unor ziduri. «Paradoxul restaurarii spune Kalnoky, este dificultatea de a interveni pe forma, fara a distruge spiritul». In interioarele restaurate ale castelului, elemente de confort modern sunt integrate cu un gust desavarsit in atmosfera traditionala, demonstrand ca Tibor Kalnoky a reusit sa atinga acest echilibru fragil. Dincolo de povestea restaurarii unor castele vechi, filmul urmareste un om care isi cauta radacinile, in incercarea de a reinvia spiritul familiei.
