SYNOPSIS

There is not much going on at the Solec farmstead in the Czech Paradise region. Its inhabitants include the owner, Mrs. Kubová, and her two sons, the innkeeper Marie and the horsekeeper Lucka. The summer holidays have just started and the everyday stereotype reels around the troubles and worries of the adults and the duties and boredom of the children. The situation radically changes with the arrival of the unknown and mysterious František. Joy, peace and seeming happiness enter the lives of our heroes. However, the expected conflict is drawing close. Due to financial problems, Mrs. Kubová’s husband decides to sell the farmstead. It is necessary to make a plan to prevent this and implement it.
