Synopsis
Old Mr. Tosovsky has knocked down Mrs. Parizkova by a car. His daughter Zuzana is boiling with anger and takes the car keys away from him to prevent him from further driving. On one hand, Zuzana solves the problem with her father, but on the other, she antagonizes her mother Jana, who is planning a trip to a remote cemetery to do the spring-cleaning. After a quarrel with her daughter, Jana decides not to leave the things as they are.
