Milan Rastislav Štefánik was the first Slovak to circumnavigate the world, to climb Mont Blanc, to survive the shooting down of his ice-plane during World War I. He was an intellectual, scientist, inventor, astronomer, national hero, but also a lover of women and a bon vivant. 100 years ago, everyone considered his dreams a utopia, but he was not afraid to step into the unknown and realise his dream of liberating his own nation. His life story seems almost unbelievable, considering that he did it all as a single man in failing health, from the poorest of circumstances.

The seven members of the gypsy band Lomnické Čháve come from a Roma settlement and dream of making it big. Sensitively observed and with uplifting music the film tells the story of their journey, struggles, enthusiasm, failures and perseverance.

The film tells about the value of human life. The story of a Slovak nurse who lived in Misurata for 20 years, converted to Islam and gave birth to 2 children there. Her hospital found itself in the middle of war conflict and civil war. The different values of the Arab and European worlds are revealed in border situations. While Ľuba wants to save her grandson and daughter and take them to Slovakia, her children - brought up in the Arab world - want to fight for their homeland, nation and faith.
