Synopsis

What unfolds against the backdrop of the story of Klára Knabelová
and her relationships with three Austro-Hungarian Army officers is
a parable of the collapse of the old world of traditional values and
the start of the proliferation of new (dis)orders. World War I becomes
a trigger for this process of disintegration and an incubator for
mysterious, irrational forces. The only person who can emerge
from this melting-pot with a clean slate is a strong and charismatic
woman who becomes a symbol of composure, as well as the
promise of “new tomorrows.”
