The Slovak equivalent of a western, the film is set in the 1920s, when the Czechoslovak borders were still insecure. Two men of equal virtue, a horse smuggler and a customs officer, who also represent the conflict between the community and the authorities, face each other on the Slovak-Polish border. The film is a simplified, but very visually appealing, story about the absurdity of history and borders.
