Life in a rural retirement home is peaceful, with long-standing friendships and rivalries. One day, the residents find a bedraggled, exhausted person lying at the door. The next day, however, the poor woman transforms into a charming lady who becomes the object of attention, especially among the male population. Her charm triggers a strange emotional epidemic in the home – people awaken from their slumber, becoming interested in the world around them, both near and far, and feeling a greater need for tolerance. This lyrical television play by director P. Háši and playwright F. Pavlíček, starring K. Fialová, tells of the remarkable influence of love on human life, even if it is already fulfilled and balanced. On life in the time of rowan berries.
