Monika has the life she always dreamed of: she’s a successful doctor and expecting a child in a happy relationship with Lukáš. But is she truly happy? When she unexpectedly reunites with her ex-husband Petr after years, her doubts deepen. A brief meeting turns into a long walk through a summer city, during which unanswered questions begin to surface: "Why did we actually break up back then?" and "What if we had made a different choice?" Through dialogue and gentle humor, we observe how a subtle closeness re-emerges between them in quiet moments - whether in the rain, on a tram, or in the park. Director Bohdan Karásek crafts a sensitive, intimate drama about the roads not taken.
