After a breakup, Klára arrives at her grandmother's house in Prague. During renovations she discovers an old suitcase whose contents lead her to the fate of Lucie's family. Markéta Prášková's family saga connects a present-day search with a suppressed postwar experience.
Lucie's family is affected by interventions of the socialist regime after the war. Klára's investigation gradually challenges the boundary between what the family tells and what was meant to remain hidden.
Two generations are connected by the wish to protect loved ones and by years of silence. A family possession opens a path into the past and questions about home, memory and guilt.
