Eliska (Petra Hřebíčková) is caught off guard when her husband Paul (George Langmajer) falls for a younger woman, leaving her to start life anew at 40. Without her husband’s financial support, she needs to find a means to survive and ultimately finds work as a teacher at a local school. With little choice for lodging, she decides to move into a former morgue. Little does she know that a sarcastic gravedigger (Ondřej Vetchý) with a grudge on his shoulder already occupies the small house.
