Pig slaughtering is held every year by the old men in Osoblažsko. It is the only day of the year when the whole family gets together to swear, eat, drink and just live. But this year everything is different. Grandpa has been pacing since the morning and doesn't know how to tell his son-in-law Karl that this is the pig slaughtering. Karl's daughter Romana misses her mother and her sister Lucia's marriage is falling apart. Her son Dusan doesn't know how to navigate the collisions of the male and female worlds, Uncle Šupina has been dangerously drinking since morning, Tonda the butcher is hiding the fact that he has wet patrons, and a troubled neighbour is plotting how to get revenge for his messed-up life. In the course of such a day, the resilience of mutual bonds is tested, revealing the strength and fragility of relationships shaped by tradition, love and injustice.
