The film tells the story of the inhabitants of a forgotten village near the Austrian border, who are brought into their lives by the events of the 1930s and 1950s. Before, it was important to work the fields, survive the winter and raise children, now you have to choose who is Austrian, who is German and who is Czech, and pay the price that such a decision will bring. And so, neighbors who lived peacefully until now become staunch enemies, who settle scores with each other even at the cost of crime, loss of ethical inhibitions and humanity.
