One fairy tale, one sad funeral, one ruined Christmas and one wild wedding. Stories of three men and their families that are affected by the current financial crisis.

A family saga taking place mostly in a small Slovak village over a period of thirty years (1887–1917). The first part captures the life of Martin Pichandu in the development of his craft, masonry; in the second part, his son is center stage living in a period of socio-political crisis, which ultimately results in the first World War. After originally airing on Czechoslovakian television in 1983 as a four-part 226-minute mini-series, this production received a 163-minute theatrical release in 1984.

An anti-fascist story of village children, set in 1939 in Slovakia.
