Reporter Jiří Kubík and director Zdeněk Chaloupka mapped the case of a protracted dispute over a small child from spring to autumn 2025. They conducted dozens of interviews, studied dozens of files, and attended court hearings. The investigation brought more and more questions and fewer and fewer answers.
Is it really possible that the courts will entrust a small child to the care of a predator? Or is it all a fabrication of his mother, who is trying to get her son only for herself?
