Gerta grows up in 1930s Brno in a mixed Czech-German family, which brings her into conflict with her father as he embraces Nazi ideology. Despite this, they remain connected through their shared love of music. During the occupation, Gerta joins the student resistance with her beloved Karel, but the war takes everything from her and leaves her with a dark secret that shapes her future. After the war, though innocent, Gerta is violently forced into the wild expulsion and must leave her hometown with her infant daughter. She survives the hardest years on a rural farm, reunites with Karel, and returns to Brno hoping for a normal life—yet the past continues to haunt her. The two-part TV film Gerta Schnirch offers a personal view of 20th-century history through the fate of a woman caught between two worlds.

Žofa's seemingly perfect life shatters in an instant—one secret changes everything. Rumors spread, loyalties break, and feelings she never expected begin to surface. The line between truth and lies blurs in a story of desire, betrayal, and the search for one's true self.

At the end of the world, where time has stopped and even the shadows of ancestors remain faithful to their homes, there is a village where stylized absurdity mixes with the subconscious of the nation and where reality walks hand in hand with dreams and the afterlife.
