Before World War I breaks out, 15-year-old Anka (Dana Droppová) swaps life in a small Slovak town with her parents for the big city of Prague, working as a maid for a wealthy family. Due to be married off, daughter Resi (Radka Caldová) initially comes off as cruel but is masquerading in a social standing that expects a lot from her.
