Everything splashes in this poetic portrait sketch: the rain on the roof, the dog in the puddle, the grandchildren in the kiddie pool and the protagonist in the river Vltava. A middle-aged woman has lovingly converted a freighter into a house boat. The film captures her daily life in impressionistic, analogue aesthetics, from morning coffee in her bathrobe to the last cigarette on deck at dusk. She seems to have fulfilled a wish – a life by and in the river.

In a place without adults, children can do anything they want. They play at war, build robots, invent new music and new rules. They organise themselves and do not let anyone interfere. Much of what looks chaotic follows its own logic, thus reflecting the adult world. A cautiously anarchistic film study about children’s creativity.
