Antonín Havel was unhappily in love with Madlena. She married the rich Sedlák Vojnar, and Havel went to war. But Madlena soon became a widow. Madlena is forced by her brother-in-law Jakub into a second marriage. She refuses this not only because of her son Jeník, but also because of her memories of Antonín.
