Ten-year-old Viktor, a spoilt troublemaker, lives in Prague with his mother Hana, a theatre actress who does not know what to do with his upbringing or her own life. When she is offered a part in a TV series filmed at the other end of the country, she moves him to his grandmother's in the countryside despite his protests, telling herself that a change will be best for him and that her recently widowed mother should not be alone. Viktor feels betrayed, all the more so because his domineering grandmother has clear ideas about how his life and his mother's should look. Three voices from three generations tell one decisive year, in which everyone wants only the best for the others and keeps hurting them.
