Jarda's wife Marcela (Anna Geislerová) is having difficulty accepting her husband's new career and before long she is packing her bags and rounding up the kids to seek shelter with her mother. Meanwhile, aging Czech émigré Benes (Josef Abrhám) is traveling to Prague from his home in Tuscany to reclaim a house previously seized by the communists.
