A drama set in the summer of 1943, a period when occupied Czechoslovakia appeared on maps as the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. It takes place in the Moravian village of Lakotice, where there is not a single German, and where the events of the war do not seem to have touched. Jura Baran, a peasant, prosecuted by the Gestapo, has fled his native mountains of poor Wallachia to hide in the middle of the plain of Haná in Lakotice.

As a foreigner, he is not trusted by the locals. Lakotice is a village of a few buildings, with twelve rich farmhouses scattered among the golden fields of ripening grain, whose owners live in fear of Sekal. He is the illegitimate son of one farm. He has had a cruel childhood as a bastard, despised by all, owned by none, unnoticed by decent girls.

Sekal is bitter and cruel, hates everything and everyone. His time has come with the Protectorate. He has already executed two landowners for crimes against the Reich. He got their property for it, they went to a concentration camp and to their deaths. The bastard has become the biggest peasant, and he's making it clear that two estates are not enough...
