Synopsis:Generations of Czechoslovaks know this case. But this isn’t just history. It could happen anywhere. To anyone. Maybe even to someone you know. In 1968, an ordinary family in the quiet village of Vonoklasy became part of a tragedy that still raises unsettling questions. Could it have been prevented? Was it fate, genetics, or something much harder to define? How do mental health, inherited trauma, and silent struggles shape the choices people make? The Jelínek family’s story spans five decades. In 1932, at a village dance, a soldier named Standa wins over the young and beautiful Marie. He is charming, funny, and devoted to making her happy. They build a home on the edge of the village, dreaming of love, family, and a future filled with happiness. They believe they can face anything together. But some tragedies don’t happen overnight. Some grow quietly, passed down through generations, until one day, they can no longer be stopped.
