The story about the gradual breakdown of a family living in a small town. Agata wants a happy life far from home, fully aware that her only hope is to escape and therefore betray those close to her. Honza believes in the purity and power of love, regardless of the circumstances under which it is born. Kamila looks confidently to the future and has no intention of accepting the misery of the present. Only Jarda knows that he will not change the world or himself. Aware of his weakness, he does not even try. In his mind, of course, his addiction to slot machines, which has led to a nearly impossible situation. The real and convincing attempt to rescue his family comes when it is too late. (official distributor synopsis)
