Director Jakub Wagner attempts to create a family inventory rather than a family portrait. With his pursuit of objectivity masked by suppressed indignation, the director's father describes the miserable state of his neglected home, where the director's artistically inclined family lived for many generations. The recording of the tour is intertwined with archival footage, from home video to a Czech TV documentary to clips from the director's twelve-year-old thesis work dedicated to his grandfather. Audio-visual recordings – just like the objects strewn around the family home – act as uncertain artefacts, which still need to be engraved with the hallmark of a personal history.
