The stylized animated documentary about the life of Romani activist Čeňek Růžička and his family depicts the pre-war and post-war nomadic life of Czech Romani people, the wartime fate of his family imprisoned in the concentration camp at Lety u Písku, and Čeňek's tireless and ultimately successful struggle to abolish the pigsty and build a dignified memorial to the victims who suffered at Lety.
