The inhabitants of the village of Sidonie lived in peace until their lives were changed by a boundary mark which has brought many complications and confusion. Part of the village has remained on the Slovak side and part on the Czech side. This small but otherwise remote village is inhabited by about 250 people. These are united in mixed marriages, friendships, joint schooling and work on both sides of the border. Czechs have built their houses over the river on Slovak territory and vice-versa. This documentary film does not try merely to give a picture of the moods and emotions of the local inhabitants. At a time when, in parts of Europe, borders defy reason, the film reflects upon the complexities of the official decision to divide the former Czechoslovak state.
