Jonas a mysterious traveller, intrigued by a young woman he meets by the roadside riding a bicycle, follows her and arrives in an isolated mythical village, lost in time.

After loosing his possessions, he remains there and is forced to find work with Lineu, a visionary inventor who, for twenty years, devotes his life to sole purpose building a perpetual motion machine.

Lineu uses as his workshop a disused mill, owned by Geronio, the town's benefactor who now has modernizing plans for Kenoma and for the mill, and wants Lineu out of the mill at any cost.

Jonas' life becomes reluctantly tied up with Lineu's obsession for the machine and by his attraction for Tara.
