Czech semi-documentary.
Tobiáš is a drummer for Ivan Král. He is also a professional garbage collector. He lives among garbage cans and a landfill.

During a song, she is carried out on a stretcher. The head doctor at the hospital tells Tobiáš about Pavla's incurable illness and her impending death. Tobiáš raises money to save her life through charity concerts. After futile efforts, an opportunity for fraud arises. Even that doesn't help them. Yet in this situation, they find something much more important...
A psychological story of a young printing house leader and his subordinates and a "dangerous contract from the West".
It is a film consisting of six short stories, which mostly tell in a black humorous, ironic, often bitterly bitter form about an ancient curse, human infidelity, strange deviations, an unexpected miracle and hypocritical forgiveness. They have their own pointed structure, specific atmosphere and way of processing, and yet they pass on motives to each other that communicate with each other and observe the same things from different angles.
