Can one justify trying escape from the realities of time, place, and human responsibility? This tale of two generations investigates the possibilities. Rufus and Čerčil live through the seasons together, experiencing hope and desperation along the way. In a world limited by totalitarianism, they have chosen to live as outsiders, their decision blessed by humility and the courage of defiance. In spite of the fact that Čerčil rejects commitments, his relationship with the fragile Gréta has produced a daughter. Rufus has a son by Kateřina, and they try to lead a 'normal' life. The two fathers betroth their children to each other in the somewhat swaggering desire to confirm their own lifestyle. Young Gréta and Rufus grow up, and hope comes of their encounter years later - perhaps for themselves even if not for their parents. Perhaps for the viewer too. (official distributor synopsis)
