Somewhere in the hills of central Slovakia three brothers live, lost in time, dreams, naïveté and folly, blurring the boundaries between the real world and that of their late ancestors. The only thing that conveys a sense to their futile lives is a cobweb of tragicomic relationships with their fateful women ready to give up their lives for love. An allegorical fresco about love beyond the grave where the poetics of magical realism confronts the Nazi and Communist past of the Slovak nation.
