Ta but died after 14 days and a child - a village called "bastard" (as it is in their opinion the son of "whores") - that grows with them.
Just as in the distant past, the story began to be told again now, but its variants differ by telling the i by the number of bottles consumed. What are the repressed memories and what is fiction? What in the village for years "says" and what they prefer "silent", because it is so convenient for the majority of its inhabitants? They face each other different version of events, the more so as time and again come to life characters and situations. Rising tension and absurdity - slowly, but it was all neúprosněji - on the surface emerges true and unexpected connections with the present.
