Two seriously injured patients are brought to the hospital at almost the same time: truck driver Honza Linhart, who had an accident, and a young woman found unconscious in a forest by a man picking mushrooms. The woman is identified as Katerina Marková, the divorced mother of a young girl. Major Kalas (Rudolf Hrusínský) suspects that she is a victim of mugging since a bloodstained small ax has been found near the site of the crime and, according to witnesses, Ms Marková was missing her watch and a bracelet, from which a gemstone has also been discovered. Linhart has lost his only kidney in the accident; in order to live a normal life again, he will need a kidney transplant from the mugged woman if she dies.

Young script-writer Frantisek (Petr Cepek) is hired to write a film script based on the successful novel Looking Back. He meets with the novel's female author, a University professor and writer named Olga Machová (Jirina Trebická), approximately ten-years-older than him. In the beginning, they do not understand each other at all. Frantisek is a skeptic experiencing a moral crisis, unsatisfied with both his work and his private life - he lives separated from his wife and has no deeper feelings for his numerous lovers. He even gets drunk from time to time and breaks the public peace. Olga is lonesome, too, but considers her life fulfilled.

Nous sommes en 2484 et la Terre est menacée par une comète rebelle qui pourrait modifier fatalement son orbite. La solution est surprenante : Adam Bernau, le plus grand génie du XXe siècle, a mis au point, il y a 500 ans, une formule ingénieuse permettant de transporter facilement des continents et même des mondes. Malheureusement, il a fait cette découverte à l'âge de 11 ans et le cahier d'exercices qui la contenait a été détruit dans un incendie. Mais ce n'est pas un défi pour l'académicien Filip qui décide d'envoyer une expédition dans le passé pour récupérer le précieux cahier d'exercices. Mais tout n'est pas aussi simple qu'il n'y paraît...
