Synopsis

Eva (37) returns to her home town Modra after a 20 years absence. Penniless, she hitch-hikes and is picked up by the entomologist Karel (26) who’s going to Modra to research a caterpillar threatened by extinction.
Eva soon learns that a big piece of land, left by her recently deceased father, has been expropriated by the mayor of Modra, Ruzek (55).
Eva claims the land and Ruzek reacts with aggression, but he avoids facing Eva. Simultaneously, Ruzek gets into a conflict with Karel, who thinks the land is the habitat for his rare caterpillar.
However, Ruzek’s daughter Sandra (21), takes an unexpected interest in Eva, and Eva in Sandra.
In their baffling and clumsy struggle to get to know each other, both women engage intimately with Karel, taking a peculiar interest in his world of parasitic caterpillars.
Ruzek and Karel’s worlds soon turn up-side-down as Eva and Sandra find themselves on a heart breaking journey trying to deal with the unspeakable; they are mother and daughter.
