Tab, a Czech actor, travels around Europe with his partner, Soňa, and their two young sons, attending festivals and performing plays. As resentment towards foreigners grows, Tab decides to return home to the banks of the Sázava River, southeast of Prague. However, upon their arrival, Tab is falsely accused of a terrible crime and forced to go on the run with his sons.
They evade authorities through various means, including car, foot, and raft, encountering a diverse range of allies and enemies along the way. Tabs sudden reappearance and subsequent disappearance cause a ripple effect in the community, leading to a chaotic chain of events that culminates in a raucous crescendo.
