Cigar production has its right and left sides according to the direction in which the cut tobacco leaves are rolled. After World War II, the shredded world also polarised right and left. And in the sleepy valley of Spiš, hatred began to smoke. To the rhythm of the tobacconists' chants, the film tries to pull out of the smoke the stories of the violent displacements of people who suddenly found themselves on the wrong side of history.
