Emil has one goal in life. Just like the protagonist of the memorable Coen brothers' film, he tries to be a serious person—a trustworthy professional and a good father. However, malicious fate mocks these plans and places more obstacles in the protagonist's path in the form of unfortunate coincidences, malfunctioning machines, and people devoid of empathy. The only escape from the disappointing everyday life for Emil is the titular wildflower meadows. Will his passion save him from madness?
