Synopsis
This simple tale provides an open look at questions of everyday intolerance, love, and family. Marek and Monika Šír leave Prague for the country. Their goal is to find a better environment for their two adopted sons, both Romany by birth, and better air for their own boy, an asthma sufferer. But their dream of an open and natural environment soon vanishes when an elderly neighbor accuses young František of breaking the windshield of his car. The villagers are not very obliging to the newcomers and living among such intentional ill will, which seems to be heading towards litigation, leads the �írs to react unthinkingly.
