The film begins in 1945 and traces the seasonal or annual changes that a small Moravian village undergoes until sometime after 1958. The first part establishes the innocence and camaraderie of a village amidst the backdrop of a postwar landscape in 1948. Children play with guns and a landmine is discovered while ploughing the fields. A group of villagers detonate it and end the night dancing and drinking in the local pub. They leave at dawn as the sun rises on a beautiful, idyllic landscape and stop to sleep beneath a tree after taking in the view. In 1948, It is just months after the Communists have taken power in February. Loudspeakers blare propaganda and announce rations while the farmer František works. Four village notables have already joined the Communists.
