Tam na horách

Country girl Maruška is seduced by the frivolous artist Jaroslav Hanuš. As an unmarried mother she becomes the disgrace of the village and her father, the wealthy farmer Václav, does not survive this shame. The villagers drive the girl out with her baby and nearly stone her to death. Maruška, wandering through the forest, is taken in by the huntsman Hora and his wife Terka. A passing impressario Karel Suda is captivated by Maruška's voice and he encourages her to start taking singing lessons.
