A peaceful village wakes up one day before Christmas when its native son - young man called Karel - comes back home from abroad, where he was apparently doing very well. Karel would be a good catch for all the local girls, who are so eager to marry him that they lay siege to his cottage. Karel, though, wants to avoid tying the knot, so his brother comes up with the idea to give the marriage-hungry girls tasks impossible to fulfill. Marushka's spoiled sister Kvyeta would also like to get married, so her step-mother forces Marushka to fulfill the difficult tasks instead of Kvyeta. What is Marushka to do? Who can help her gather violets and strawberries and bring an old apple tree to life when it's winter? (Zlín Film Festival)
