Plot


Eva (Jitka Nováková) spends the holidays with her husband, Josef (Karel Novák), in a luxurious mansion. Picking berries, playing with balloons and running through the woods. When Robert (Jan Schmid) crosses his path and drops a key.
She follows him to return the object, finding a bag in his quarters. This one contains a stamp with the number 6, which she uses on her own skin. It turns out that Robert is a serial killer and Eva is in love with him.
After chasing him, demanding that he kill her, Eva is covered in red cloths and when Robert removes these, her clothes are also red. Upon returning to "Paradise", where she lived with Josef, Eva is unable to climb over the walls, even though they are low, and tells her husband that she "doesn't want to know the truth".
