Mikol�s and his brother Adam rob travelers for their tyrannical father Kozl�k. During one of their �jobs� they end up with a young German hostage whose father escapes to return news of the kidnapping and robbery to the King. Kozlik prepares for the wrath of the King, and sends Mikol�s to pressure his neighbor Lazar to join him in war. Persuasion fails, and in vengeance Mikol�s abducts Lazar�s daughter Marketa, just as she was about to join a convent. The King, meantime, dispatches an army and the religious Lazar will be called upon to join hands against Kozlik. Stripped-down, surreal, and relentlessly grimy account of the shift from Paganism to Christianity.
