Set against the striking though simple backdrop of a picturesque, even idyllic, landscape - one ostensibly cut off from any important historical, political, or social context whatsoever - the arrival of an unwanted individual evokes the onset of a cruel drama.

Their curiosity leads them to the bathroom, and somebody locks them in. They have no idea who has locked the door or why. Watching them through a peephole in the wall is an eye, an eye that foretells nothing good...

Can one justify trying escape from the realities of time, place, and human responsibility? This tale of two generations investigates the possibilities. Rufus (Jirí Schmitzer) and Churchill (Zdenek Novák) live through the seasons together, experiencing hope and desperation along the way. In a world limited by totalitarianism, they have chosen to live as outsiders, their decision blessed by humility and the courage of defiance. In spite of the fact that Churchill rejects commitments, his relationship with the fragile Gréta has produced a daughter. Rufus has a son by Katerina, and they try to lead a 'normal' life. The two fathers betroth their children to each other in the somewhat swaggering desire to confirm their own lifestyle. Young Gréta and Rufus grow up, and hope comes of their encounter years later - perhaps for themselves even if not for their parents. Perhaps for the viewer too.
