After a scandal ruins her career, former Minister of Justice Patricia (50+) returns to her Prague apartment, where she becomes entangled in absurd situations that culminate in an existential crisis.

Former Minister of Justice, Patricia (50+), returns to her Prague apartment after a government scandal. During her train journey, she meets Laura (20+), an ambitious hair care dealer, who insensitively reminds her of the recent trauma. After an uncomfortable and bizarre confrontation, the two women eventually find a way to each other, as the train breaks down and Patricia takes Laura to a hostel by taxi. Upon returning home, Patricia finds out that her housekeeper, Veronika (20+), has brought her lover to the apartment. He harshly criticizes Patricia, unaware of her presence. Shaken by the fact that there is no escape from her past, she flees her own apartment, returns to the hostel, and goes with Laura to spend the rest of the evening filled with alcohol and an existential crisis.
