Jakub hires Filip as his assistant, not realizing that he has already lost his company. The two eventually meet up with Marta, a barmaid and spirited leader. When Jakub inherits an abandoned building, Marta encourages him to employ the masses. The building becomes a collective dairy that just might become Mr. Worsts’s worst nightmare. 

The film includes the song “Heave-Ho! We Want to Live!” written by Jaroslav Ježek that becomes almost a mantra for the film.
