A little girl and a socialist orphanage. It is a strict children’s institution. How to overcome fears, insecurity and loneliness? To do this, the girl creates another self to talk to and argue with. And, of course, the dream of America where everything is beautiful and good. Where her father lives and waits for her. A girl and her foster family. There’s plenty of everything, but it doesn’t feel right. Emma’s trials don’t end there. Again and again, she must find the strength to hope, the stamina to live.

What can keep you alive when the whole world is against you and you're still a child? Not much. Ema Černá, the heroine of a story inspired by real events, overcomes the hardships of a children's home, foster care, and juvenile detention on her journey. The most important part of her will to survive is her belief in herself, her belief that somewhere far away, perhaps even in America, there is someone who cares about her.

His fiancée, actress Klára Knabelová, discovers during the investigation that the head, hands, and heart were removed from the body after death. In her search for answers to this mystery, she encounters the colonel's closest associate, Lieutenant Heinrich Roth, and fate brings them together. Military investigator Karel Vrana tries to persuade Klára to cooperate against Roth and occult circles within the army. Klára refuses, but expresses her support for Vrana's goal of finding the stolen parts of the colonel's body. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Roth is called to the battlefield of World War I, and Vrana sets out across Europe to search for von Haukwitz's remains, which are being used by occult groups. Klára moves to her family farm in Moravia, where she receives another part of the body—the hand of the wounded Lieutenant Roth.
