Alemania, siglo XIX. Jake y Will Grimm son dos hermanos que se dedican a recorrer los pueblos embaucando a los pobres lugareños: primero les cuentan historias de maldiciones, espíritus y fantasmas que los acechan y después fingen salvarlos por medio de exorcismos y rituales varios. Pero, un día, llegan a un pueblo sobre el que pesa una maldición real, un pueblo situado cerca de un bosque encantado en el que recientemente han desaparecido varias niñas. Los Grimm tendrán entonces que demostrar su valentía y coraje para salvar al pueblo de una amenaza terrorífica.
Jakub, a young, small time drug dealer, wakes up to find the police storming the apartment building while his parents are both away on holiday. After flushing all of his "secret stashes" in the toilet, he finds out they are actually there to investigate the death of the girl upstairs, a close childhood friend of his and the family. He slowly retraces the past week that she has been lying dead in her flat and remembers that he asked her to "receive a package" unbeknownst to her from his drug dealer, Pexeso.
Quite a few years have passed since November 1989. Czechoslovakia has been divided up and, in the Czech Republic, Václav Klaus’s right-wing government is in power. Karel Vachek follows on from his film New Hyperion, thus continuing his series of comprehensive film documentaries in which he maps out Czech society and its real and imagined elites in his own unique way.
