You have to hope that the right moment has come... Tereza is building a tower with her boyfriend. She wants it to have a strong foundation. But there is no time to build, and the tower keeps falling apart. Following her mother's death and her father's departure, Tereza has to take care of her little sister, Kája. In their world, there seems to be no room left for anyone else. Marie-Magdalena Kochová is one of the most prominent young directors in contemporary Czech cinema.
