The story of two old ladies, who are temporarily brought together by the disastrous flood. Gabriela, a prominent citizen of a small town near Prague is an artist's widow and lives alone in a large apartment. When she sees television shots showing the terrible flood and the damage it caused in Prague, she decides to offer a temporary home to an elderly lone woman. Vera arrives next day with only one bag of personal effects, which she managed to salvage from her flooded flat. Thus begins the story of two lonesome old ladies with different characters and different pasts, a story that is not really about the flood disaster, but about human loneliness, mutual confidence and friendship, about two human fates that became intertwined for a short stretch of time.
