A Year of endless days follows two men from Slavonia, Croatia. Tomislav and Joso are in their 50s and we find them living without their wives. Mostly in search of means for a better life, these women went to work abroad a few years ago. Abroad, they found new partners and moved there permanently. They are still married to their wives, but the marriage is realized only on paper. We are introduced to the film by the director who is also the narrator and the protagonists of the film. Throughout the film we also follow three narrative threads of the protagonists - Tomislav meeting his new friend Snježana, Joso trying to make peace with his wife’s recent passing away, and the director getting the answers that were the reason for making of this film.

Franko unwillingly finds himself on an adventure across former Yugoslavia to find the only vinyl record that is missing from his collection - “Ulica Jorgovana/Zlatokosa” single, one of the finest examples of Yugoslav funk. Along the way, he meets a variety of colorful characters whom he interviews to get a glimpse into the need for collecting.
