Spoilers ahead
In this patient, scene-rich drama set in a small Moravian village, a quiet, almost timeless world gradually gives way to the sweeping, harsh changes of history. Beginning in 1945, the story unfolds with a sense of innocence and camaraderie that threads through daily life, where children play near fields and even a discovered land mine becomes part of a rough, communal rite. The opening sequence paints a landscape of beauty and resilience: after a tense night of danger, villagers gather in the pub, dancing and drinking, and when dawn breaks, they drift to sleep beneath a tree, the sun rising on a place that feels untouched by time.
