- Can one justify trying escape from the realities of time, place, and human responsibility? This tale of two generations investigates the possibilities. Rufus (Jirí Schmitzer) and Churchill (Zdenek Novák) live through the seasons together, experiencing hope and desperation along the way. In a world limited by totalitarianism, they have chosen to live as outsiders, their decision blessed by humility and the courage of defiance. In spite of the fact that Churchill rejects commitments, his relationship with the fragile Gréta has produced a daughter. Rufus has a son by Katerina, and they try to lead a 'normal' life. The two fathers betroth their children to each other in the somewhat swaggering desire to confirm their own lifestyle. Young Gréta and Rufus grow up, and hope comes of their encounter years later - perhaps for themselves even if not for their parents. Perhaps for the viewer too.

- Charlie Soukup is a Czech underground songwriter and Charter 77 signatory. He emigrated in the early 1980s, and has spent the last several decades living on his own in the Australian outback as a hermit and Buddhist. Documentary filmmaker Jirí Holba sought Soukup out on his large property in the bush, where he builds secret shelters and lives away from civilization. The film, which Holba shot entirely alone on location, presents spontaneous conversations and situations that fully capture Soukup's distinctive charisma. The film's series of monologues are a kind of stream of thoughts that are part mad rambling and part insightful observations on life. "I'm interested in a film as a poem, a touch of life, a wave of a magic wand, a sudden burst of a spark in the infinite darkness, a solution of a puzzle. No beginning, no end, everything in a compact space. And love." J. Holba.
