Tomás (Ondrej Sokol) and Jana's (Lenka Vlasáková) adventure in love begins in Prague just after the creation of the First Czechoslovak Republic. Their impulsive 'escape to Budín' means not only a chance for the unhappy Jana to get away from her psychologically unstable mother, but also the beginning of a troubled marriage. The couple set up house on a farm in Slovakia owned by Tomás's vital and unconventional father, Stefan (Bolek Polívka). But soon after the marriage Jana begins to realize how hedonistic and internally barren Tomás actually is. At the same time she finds herself drawing closer to Stefan.—Czech film center
