After the end of the Christmas holidays, because of the broken relationships in the family, Nežka begins to take refuge in her fantasy world. The incomprehensible world of adult conflicts merges more and more with the fairytale world of little Nežka.

Tragedy doesn’t come any more Dickensian in tone or Shakespearian in scope than this dark social drama of the disintegration of a little family of four. A series of small debts triggers the swift domino effect that unleashes chaos on a well-meaning working class dad who has the bad judgment to speak truth to power.
