When a van crashes into the square of a small Czech town during a local festivity, running over one person, the peaceful existence of the village is turned upside down. Soon to be a father, volunteer firefighter Standa (Michal Istenik) finds himself at the center of an investigation hunting for culprits or scapegoats, in an environment of growing paranoia. A parable about contemporary times that explores themes such as xenophobia and manipulation of reality, carefully blending an allegorical structure by way of its environment and characters. (E. V.)
