Synopsis
Marcela is an attractive wife and mother of two children. Her husband Jarda has a car shop where he transforms stolen cars to sumptuous vehicles. The family is in a financial and personal crisis after the floods. One day Marcela loses her patience and leaves with the children to her mother's home, but there they are subjected to the mental terror of her step-father Richard. When Marcela is feeling at her lowest, she meets a much older man, Evzen, who is rich and what's more, noble and cultivated. He lives in Tuscany and owns a villa in the Czech Republic. Marcela sees the possibility of a better life with him.
