In the story of little Vítek Kříž and his brother Jáchym, we find ourselves in Běstviny, a place made for an ancient legend, in which a huge compost is stirring at the end of the castle garden. It is said that there is a worm living deep underground that needs to be fed – with joy, fear, remorse and once in a while something alive. When the grandfather is gone, one of the grandsons will have to take his place and take care of the Beasts. To keep the legend from breaking, he will have to kill... But what if the characters defy their own storyteller and refuse to be part of his game? And how do you even come to terms with his omniscience, which rushes through the trees in the form of the wind and vainly wags its tail? The children of the beast story are now adults and return to the gardens to tell the final chapters in their own way.
