Sofia introduces her three adult daughters to her new lover who is their age and happens to be a woman. The women, in particular Elvira find it extremely difficult to accept their mothers sudden apparent sexual reversal. The news pushes the neurotic Elvira to the point of nervous breakdown. Sol, the youngest daughter, writes a lude rock song about it and performs in front of them at a concert. The daughters plot together on how to get their mothers new girlfriend, a native Czech, and brilliant pianist, out of her life. Their plot goes terribly wrong and turns the film from a light-hearted comedy, into mildly amusing drama.

Давным-давно жили-были на свете благородный господин и его красавица жена. Жили они счастливо и богато, но однажды в их дом пришла беда, и хозяин фамильного замка овдовел. С тех пор его единственным утешением была прекрасная юная дочь Лиллиан, которую за сказочную красоту назвали Белоснежкой. Но, оправившись от потери, он привел в дом новую хозяйку, прекрасную ликом, но ледяную сердцем леди Клаудию, которая сразу же невзлюбила кроткую падчерицу и поклялась сжить ее со свету, повинуясь жестоким советам своего зеркала.

Emperor Francis Joseph I is about to arrive in Prague, and among those who came to Stromovka to welcome him is Veronika Pavlitová.

By chance, the girl meets Božena Němcová, whom she admires immensely. She becomes her friend and confidant for a while. However, police director Paümann, who has been following Božena Němcová for a long time, takes advantage of the naivety of the young girl. Veronika, in her simple-mindedness, tells him many things. Only later will she understand how she was abused.
