A story about the preparation of an advertising campaign shrouded in secrecy, set in the heart of Czech Canada
Adolf Majer has just endured „four messed-up months of his life.“ His wife, Instagram star @joanofpark, has left him for another man, and everything at the Craven advertising agency, where he is a creative director, is falling apart. Adolf, along with director Schweik and graphic design intern Julie, accepts an invitation to an unconventional tender at a hotel complex near the Třeboň ponds, pine forests, and vast peat bogs. They have no idea that, apart from presenting ideas, they will confront something much darker during their stay.
