A young woman's suicide attempt is stopped by an old man passing by. The two fall in love -- but the relationship between the young girl and old man is threatened when a blackmailer from her past shows up.
In 1841, in the small Morovian village of Skalni Hradec, a judge makes his much younger wife witness the public humiliation of an unfaithful wife who is bound with ropes to a wooden half-cross. He then tells her he'll kill her if he ever catches her being unfaithful. Things get tense when she falls for another man.
The film is a cheesy but sincere plea for proper sex education--and against illegal abortion.
