In a story inspired by real events an introverted Karel (Karel Roden) lives in a world of order and strict rules with a little room for empathy. He visits his extroverted and bohemian mother Matylda (Regina Rázlová), a former bar singer, mostly because of a sense of obligation. Matilda unexpectedly loses her apartment and Karel has no choice but to have her live with him. Their coexistence is a disaster especially when it comes out that Matilda is developing Alzheimer's. Karel's son Pavel (Antonio Šoposki), an irresponsible flutist who despises his father's profession as an executor, is seemed as the best option to take care of their troubled grandmother. The new household of three different temperaments across generations brings humorous moments. However with the progressing symptoms of the disease they turn more tragicomic. At first the hopeless situation turns the family's life upside down but through not giving up they achieve something meaningful not only for Matilda, but also for themselves.
