A group of Germans must spend the night in a Czech village after their bus breaks down. All it takes is a little prejudice and a shared history for the peaceful atmosphere to turn into a nightmare.
Architect Matěj moves to a little village in the Czech Republic to find refuge after years of working abroad. Besides renovating his farmhouse, he is also reconstructing the local community centre which is about to host the mayor’s birthday celebration. In the early evening, as the festivities begin, Matěj meets Eva, a German tour guide, who is looking for help. She is taking a group of senior citizens to the Sudetenland, their ancestors were expelled from after the war. Their bus has an accident and wouldn´t start. The villagers, with the mayor in the lead, offer the Germans to join the celebration until their bus is repaired. Due to misunderstanding and prejudice, the well-intentioned deed escalates into a conflict between the locals and the Germans.
