After a lifetime together, they have to find out if they still know each other.
Logline:
When Kamil and Klára reach a point where staying together and separating have somehow become equally good prospects, they give themselves one autumn to decide whether to sell the house they built together and end their marriage. Their adult children return home to defend the last physical space that still binds the family together, although nobody seems to agree on what exactly they are defending anymore. Kamil and Klára try to stay connected, but never at the same time, so their attempts usually produce new misunderstandings. Old arguments and unfinished dreams keep coming back. The situation forces them to look back at the things they sacrificed for each other, and the roles they have been playing for so long, until they have to ask whether they still want the life they built together, or simply don't know how to imagine another one.
