This two-part production follows the lives of three generations of women from the Jablonczay family at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The first part begins in 1882 and focuses on the two older generations. The eldest, Maria (Emília Vášáryová), lives in a dead relationship with her husband Kálmán (Milan Kněžko). She is the mother of a son and three daughters, each of whom tries to cope with her despotic nature in different ways. In the second part, the youngest, third generation of characters enters the scene. Lenka (Zuzana Vačková) is first educated in a convent with the kind approach of the mother superior (Magda Vášáryová) and slowly gets to know the real world outside the convent and her strict family environment. The play is based on the novel by Hungarian prose writer Magda Szabó, originally titled "An Old-Fashioned Story," in which the author describes the family life of her own ancestors.

A philosophical fairy tale based on the themes of Pavel Dobšinský about faith in man, the good in him, which only love can help to win. Princess Jasna also had such faith in goodness and love, which is why she endured with great difficulty the choice of her father - the king who, after the death of the queen, decided to marry Morana, whose only goal was to destroy all good among people, to elevate selfishness over love, avarice over compassion - and slowly succeeded in doing so in the land of Jasna's father. And because Jasienka refuses to live with Morana and behave according to her, Morana bewitches her until there is a groom who can express his love for her without words, guess her name and give her a gift like no other. For a long time there is no one who can do it, until a young man appears in the royal city, whom the brothers mockingly nickname Janko - the key-holder - only because he preferred a simple key from his father as a gift to the golden cluster...

Screenwriter Antonín Máša wrote a television production Zurvalec based on Turgenev's short story. It is a psychological drama about the conflicting encounter between Lieutenant Kister and the dangerous duelant Captain Luchkov, who drives away the boredom of an empty life in a backwater province with a series of violent acts. The tense relationship between the two men, expressing a contradiction of creative tolerance and aggression, is exacerbated by their interest in a woman who succumbs to admiration for the "predator" Luchkov. The tragic confrontation of different approaches to life raises the question of the possibilities of defending human decency over evil.
