Plots(1)
Geislerova stars as the wildly unpredictable Marcela, a young mother of two who decides to leave her husband, Jarda (Roman Luknar), who runs an auto-theft ring and chop shop in order to get by in hard times. Taking their two kids (Adam Misik and Michaela Mrvikova ), Marcela moves in with her mother, Zdena (Jana Brejchova), who is happy to have her, and her stepfather, Richard (Jiri Schmitzer), who is not so pleased with the sudden invasion and makes life difficult for them, especially the children. When Jarda gets arrested, he is sent to prison while the owner of the car, a wealthy older man named Evzen Benes (Josef Abrham), takes an interest in Anna, eventually offering to bring her and her children to his estate in Tuscany. But even as Anna's affection for Evzen grows, she can't completely give up Jarda, whose religion-obsessed mother (Emilia Vasaryova) is stalking Anna and the kids. (official distributor synopsis)
