Ewa, the main character of the film „We Haven’t Lost Our Way”, is a translator. She gives private English lessons. One day she gets a package from his ex-partner Erik. The man sends her a notebook – a notebook from a journey aimed at the unusual Burning Lake.

During the trip, Eryk and his friend Olle stay with Anna and Roman, in their villa located in the forest. The couple live a happy life with their children and spend their time listening to music and reading books. From day to day, going on the way seems less and less likely, and the goal less and less realistic. Reading the notes, Ewa decides to go away herself, find the places and people described in the notebook.
