Jan has had enough. When his father-in-law, whose strength and patience ran dry, opts for suicide, and Jan finds out that the widowed grandma made decisions not only about grandpa’s life and old age, but now even about his funeral, he realises that he and his wife Olga are on the same route. He recalls his past life when he used to make his own decisions and had his own dreams and he wants to live again with dignity and freedom. He longs to control his own life again, not only to obey his wife’s “well-meant” orders and manipulation. His solution is simply to escape. In parallel we follow the lives of Jan's married daughters Olinka and Alenka and his sons-in-law Erik and Pepík, uncovering the complicated world of adult relationships and the subtle rules of the mechanism called marriage. A light comedy about… us.
