The film follows a soldier named Jack, who after getting a letter from his beloved wife Eva, leaves his military unit, runs through the countryside and finds the valley where Eva lives. Here Jack finds some work, while dreaming together with Eva of creating their own home and of having a baby. Suddenly, the secret police appears.
„Together with the producer Zuzana Chadimová and thanks to the interest of the American blockbuster casting director Nancy Bishop, we decided to keep the whole story in English, which appealed to a great international cast“, says producer Branislav Chlpík.
