In the dead of the night, near the Czech-Slovak border, two smugglers discover their truckload of illegal Indian immigrants have left a baby behind. In a small Prague apartment, Frantisek or âFrantaâ and Miluska or âMilaâ dream of having a child, but Franta--on probation because of his soccer hooliganism past--is not allowed to adopt, and Mila is unable to conceive. After cashing in on her savings, Mila decides to buy a baby from a pawnshop that fronts a den of thieves and pickpockets. Meanwhile, an unusual family reunion is taking place: Academy professor Otakar or âOtoâ collapses while teaching, prompting his estranged son Martin to return to Prague from Australia to see his father and his mother, Vera, long separated from Oto whom she still pines for. Oto is now living with the beautiful and much younger Hana, who works in a refugee aid center helping immigrants to adjust to their new lives.
