Řehoř lives a contented life. His wife Evženie does not. After sixty years of marriage, eighty-year-old Evženie comes to her granddaughter, lawyer Katka, to ask for her help in divorcing her eighty-five-year-old husband Řehoř. Katka is shocked by her grandmother's decision and her harshness and intransigence. What must have happened in her grandparents' relationship that even decades have not been able to erase? Katka does not want to break up her beloved family and tries to figure out her grandmother's reasons. She uncovers her own family's dramatic past, but her grandparents' secret remains hidden from her. Her grandmother risks losing her granddaughter and hides the truth from her, not wanting to pass on the burden of her past guilt to the next generation. She tries to come to terms with the past and find peace. And Řehoř? Will Katka protect him?
