Josef invites his old friend Franta to his home. Franta is shocked when he finds out that the house is surrounded by people who are holding their hands. Josef shows Franta his garden but Franta eventually asks who the people are. Josef tells him it is his hedge (lit. "living fence" in Czech) and that the people in the fence are volunteers that Josef has some knowledge about. Franta eventually finds his place in the fence.[4]
