May 1945. On the outskirts of Prague, ordinary people meet Soviet soldiers-liberators with tears of joy in their eyes. In the early days of the lull, someone sadly recalls a pre-war life; someone unexpectedly meets his love; someone is returning from enemy dungeons looking hopefully into the future; and someone, having moved from a tank into a Czech tram, warmly recalls his craft as a car driver... These days, all those who survived the Great War fire swear an oath to keep peace on Earth forever, honoring the memory of those who gave their lives for simple human happiness.
Ambientado na década de 1920, a história gira em torno de um jovem político provincial ambicioso que entra num casamento de conveniência com uma mulher sufocante e possessiva - e muito mais velha. Na esperança de fugir temporariamente das garras da esposa, o marido faz amizade com a sua jovem aia.
