Trnka’s sci-fi vision of the future in which machines and robots try to substitute themselves into the most beautiful human relationships. A cybernetic robot is supposed to substitute for the loving grandmother of a little girl.

Trnka’s artistic ideas in this film can be described as both poetically fragile and dramatically cautionary.
