In fact, Šarlota only wants to claim her inheritance from her deceased mother. Back home however traumatic memories come to the surface; of the death of the sister, of the neighbour who was stigmatised and hunted as a witch. Šarlota grows increasingly unclear about her own role in this rural network of relationships. On the search for traces of her lost childhood she penetrates ever deeper into the subconscious of a village community dominated by long-standing concepts of morality. In the nature mystic Mira she finds an ally who will help her to piece together the puzzle pieces of her confused past. As these two women delve deep into the psyche of the past, they are vociferously and presumptuously declared insane by local youngsters and their parents. In this, her second feature film, Tereza Nvotová intertwines nature mythical and esoteric motifs with genre elements into a richly layered thriller about the longevity of traditional values. And about two women who, in a catharsis-like experience, lure the demons associated therewith out from under the carpet.
