Summary
A story of Eva Langrová whose father was unjustly sentenced in communist show trials. Over the years her father spent in Jáchymov forced labor camp the distance between Eva and her father grew.

After 50 years Eva sets again on a journey across Czech Republic, from Ostrava to Jáchymov, and reflects on her relationship with her father, and the past era, she grew up in. Her memories are interlarded with extracts from letters her father used to send her from prison.
