Generations of Czechoslovaks know this story. However, few know what preceded the family tragedy that occurred in 1968 in Vonoklasy, Central Bohemia, what followed, and what the motives of all those involved were. The entire story of the Jelínek family spans almost five decades… It is 1932, and at a village dance, soldier Standa begins to court young Marie. What girl could resist the charm of a witty, charismatic man who wants nothing more than to make her happy at any cost? The couple builds their love nest on the edge of the village, longing to start a happy family and live happily ever after. Until death. The future seems to lie at their feet, and they are ready to fight all the blows of fate that may come their way. They believe that together they can do it… The series was directed by Tereza Kopáčová, who has gained extensive experience in documentary and fiction filmmaking for television since the 1990s.
