against the Reich, is given their property in reward. This
illegitimate nobody soon becomes the richest farmer around. In

them find the courage for the deed and so they decide the task
must fall on the stranger, Jura Baran, a farmer who has fled to
Lakotice. Winner Best Actor, Karlovy Vary Film Festival.
