Prague-set tale centers on sensitive moppet Terezka (Dorotka Dedkova), whose favorite bedtime story is "Little Red Riding Hood," even though it gives her bad dreams. Her family consists of her loving but tightly wound mother (Jitka Cvancarova), a once-promising singer who put her career on hold; her warm but workaholic father (Pavel Reznicek); and her elegant, critical granny (Jana Krausova), who schemes to reunite daughter with her former boyfriend Patrik, a selfish virtuoso musician (Martin Hofmann). At kindergarten, Terezka and best friend Simon (Matous Kratina) excitedly share their growing knowledge, including important tidbits such as how to identify an alien. When another tyke lands a new sibling, Terezka becomes obsessed with whether her mother is really her mother, little suspecting the altogether different secret surrounding her parentage.

风和日丽的一天，公园沙地上留下一串老人的脚印。老人撒下食物，吸引鸟儿们啄食。一个飞滚过来皮球惊飞了小鸟，淘气的小狗更吓坏了老人。在主人的呼唤之下，小狗撇下球欢快地跑了回去。另一边，小孩子高兴地玩着跳房子，爸爸却强行将她带走，小孩哇哇大哭。远处情人们正踱着悠闲的脚步，低声诉说赤诚的话语，脚印在沙地中走出一个心形。 一场大雨袭来，洗刷掉沙地上的所有痕迹，万物归于平静。 捷克女导演Mária Procházková 1997年艺术电影节获奖作品。
