Prague - Podolí, the October of 1918 and Terron, France, one of the last battlefields of the World War I. Vladimír, the main character of the series, connects both so distant places.
There's a busy communication going on between heaven and earth in Eliska's children's world. Jaroslav is cooking up plans: the beauty of sugar miller's daughter Magdaléna Skvorová hasn't been lost on him.
The purpose of Vladimír's life is to reveal the perpetrator of a distant crime. But a lasting obstacle to his investigation appears on the scene: paradoxically, it's a policeman, the district inspector Mlcoch.
