[2] In a small town, the Královy family lives in one apartment - grandmother, father and dentist Přemysl Král, his wife, a grammar school teacher, Marie and their teenage children, daughter Simona and son Otakar.

At first, she primarily deals with a complicated housing situation, her grandmother moves in with her neighbor Vaňka, but she soon returns.

Grandmother and her son Přemysl inherit the castle Temniště, which is located near their town, according to Count Esperek's will.

They want to solve the financial shortage by renting part of the property to some lucrative client, so they refuse the local kindergarten.

Simona studies journalism and works in Regional papers, during a driving school course she becomes pregnant by a married instructor who told her that he is divorced.

Count Esperk's son, Felix, who lives in Switzerland, challenges the Kings' right to inheritance and contests the will.
