Milada Krůtová

Surly solitary truck driver is given an assistant for his daily rounds: a young woman with a fondness for mini-skirts and boys, fresh out of prison.

Женщина, только что похоронившая своего мужа, казнённого фашистами, вынуждена под дулом винтовки везти в своей повозке двух солдат гитлеровской армии (одного тяжело раненого) к границе с Австрией. Постепенно разоружая своих спутников (незаметно для них): избавляясь то от пистолета, то от штыка — она словно пытается уравнять шансы (готовя месть) — если начнётся борьба, с другой же стороны, словно боясь искушения этим оружием воспользоваться (каждый раз выбрасывая обмундирование, она читает молитву).

It is the summer holiday and little Mísa Horák has taken a few animals from the school's so-called "Corner of Living Nature" home to care for. But when he brings home two Angora rabbits, a starling, a little monkey, a tortoise and a small crocodile, his parents order him to take them away. He is helped by Káta, who offers to place the animals in the child's room of her family's apartment. Mísa leaves for her friend where the animals will hopefully be able to stay. Káta goes shopping. In the meantime, Káta's younger sister Minka wakes up and begins to play with the animals, who gradually run off in disarray.

They are trying to repress their feelings of guilt and justify their behavior to the young generation with memories of their heroic war feats. Michal, however, does not want to have anything to do with their problems. He subconsciously perceives the unpleasant atmosphere in the family as well as his father's hypocrisy. After one of many quarrels with his father, he runs away from home, determined to go his own way.
