Tomas (19), a Ukrainian of Czech origin is the descendant of Czech emigrants still living as an organized minority in Ukraine and speaking old Czech language. He comes to Prague to reunite with his estranged mother Naďa, whom he hasn't seen for years. Naďa is a small-time crook living in the streets of Prague, trying to fulfil her dream: to own a cheap hotel in the city. That´s why she invited her son to come to Prague. Next to son/mother relationship, the film shows how it is to be an immigrant in a foreign country, even if you speak the language - bringing up the question: What really makes someone a Czech - the language, the roots or yet something else?
