Contents/Summary

Summary
The film follows a series which focuses on presenting stories of women who grew up in communist Czechoslovakia and experienced Velvet Revolution. After the decades, Dasha decided to visit her birthplace in the beautiful mountain region of Beskydy Mountains. Nothing is familiar to her there anymore. She had to leave when she was 2 years old. Her mum was imprisoned in 1949 for helping Mr.Vrba, a wounded anticommunist foreman. Her daddy had been chased by Members of State Secret Police until they finally run him down in the local deep forest where he was in hiding. Dasha was brought up by her grandparents in Ostrava, a big town far-away from her native village. Even though Dasha’s memory is wretched, that of local denizens and neighbors is much richer.
