LOSSES TO BE EXPECTED is the story of a courtship across the border. In a small Austrian village, located near the Czech border, the widower Sepp Paur begins to look for a new wife - with a telescope he observes the widow Paula Hutterová, who lives with her sisters in an equally small village on the Czech side. On one side, prosperity is shown and a man in search, on the other poverty and a woman who does not understand that over in Austria everything is so beautiful and clean.
