Prague born and Paris raised Stan Neumann returns in this film to his native home which is still occupied by his relatives, in order to use it to tell his family’s history interwoven into the history of Yugoslavia. Neumanns great grandfather was a famous anarchist poet, his grandfather a passionate actor and communist, and, his father an intellectual and avid supporter of Stalin who became  evastated when the latter died - all of them residing in the same house. Through the crumbling garden walls a part which was confiscated by the communists, and the deserted childrens rooms Neumann reconstructs the 20 th Century, just before a significant turn in the houses  life occurs when a part of it is being renovated and rented out to non family members. The younger generation, represented by Neumanns cousin finds it hard to accept the detachment from the first floor with its broken windows, but the aunt, born during the 50’s who witnessed her entire world change more than once, comforts him by saying “It can’t get any worst”.
