Synopsis

Two different worlds intersect when two young people from a small South Bohemian town fall in love. Frantisek works in a sawmill and is drawn towards a community of "white Indians". Marie, a modern Romany girl, works as a nurse in the local hospital. Her entire family are looking forward to the day she marries the successful Romany businessman Martin. Except that one evening, Marie meets Frantisek at a beer stand and she betrays her "tribe". Their relationship not only has to face various banal prejudices and aversions, but it also demonstrates the strength of atavistic "tribal" solidarity, whether within the Romany community, the alternative league of "white Indians" or the majority society. The lovers find themselves caught between the people around them, their families and their friends, and also their own doubts. Can a relationship like this have a happy ending?
