Matylda (Jaroslava Ticha), que vive na zona rural Checa, está a tentar organizar planos de enterro de seu marido a perecer, Jan (Ludvik Kroner). Enquanto Matylda espera ter um funeral para Janna pequena cidade onde eles viviam, há complicações. Anos antes, Jan falou contra o governo comunista e, consequentemente, foi expulso da cidade. Quando Matylda não consegue convencer um político local para permitir a cerimónia, ela usa o funeral de seu marido como uma demonstração pública de dissidência.
The exemplary accountant Antonín Safránek lives his orderly life as a citizen of a small town. His wife Eliska brings up their three children and desperately tries to get by on her husband's low salary every month. At the same time, she sadly watches the luxurious life of their neighbor and other people like him who have no qualms about improving their standard of living by cheating. One day, the infallible Safránek makes a mistake in the cash clearance and there are nine one-hundred Crown bills left in the safe. An unexpected company control carried out the next day passes without problems and the account is closed. The temptation is too strong. The insufficient control enables Safránek to gradually steal one million Crowns.
