Jozef lives on a farm surrounded by fields with Eva and their three children. Yosef is opposed to progress, forbidding the children to use computers, the internet and mobile phones, while at the same time he fights in a Don Quixotic way against the predatory farming business owned by the family of his neighbour Viktor. The children from both farms form a friendship that is uncomfortable for their domineering parents, and when one of the mothers falls ill, suspicions are raised about the contamination of the drinking water. In this topical drama, several generations collide - the former negligent, the latter responsible in their approach to human relationships and the environment.
