Maruna's troubles also include her domineering mother, whom she looks after along with her sister Jaruna. When Jaruna takes the chance to leave for Munich with the aging German Hans, Maruna is stuck in "Nowhere" all alone with her mother and her suitors. But one day, something unexpected happens here, Nowhere in Moravia...
