Plot edit
During the Easter market in a Czech village, a delivery van drives into the crowd, hits a resident and the driver flees. The village's volunteer fire brigade now wants to prove that they care about safety in the village. This event puts Broňa and Standa's friendship in danger: Firefighter Broňa is immediately sure that it is a terrorist attack committed by a migrant. Standa, on the other hand, approaches the incident from a different perspective. A laconic film about the causes of prejudice, racism and exclusion.
