A doll made of ashes
Old guilt, new crime.
Zora is a divorced mother of a hyperactive boy who is not easy to deal with. Among others, she is helped by "grandma" Sedláčková, who used to look after her when she was little, and they remained close until Zora's adulthood. Instead of the usual visit, one day there is a shock - Zora finds Emma Sedláčková dead in the field behind her house. The police will give the cause of death as a heart attack, but there's something wrong here.
Zora begins to dig into the past of a woman she trusted implicitly and uncovers disturbing facts... and it's not just about the truth anymore. It's a matter of life.
