Marie Pohlová was born on November 1, 1956. Her mother was displaced from the village of Nouzín in Kladsko after the war and found a new home in Suchý Důl near Police nad Metují. She grew up with her two siblings on a farm in Suchý Důl, which was nationalised by the communists in 1958. Her parents and grandfather joined a unified agricultural cooperative (JZD). She trained as a furrier and worked for many years in the Kara factory. In August 1968, she followed Soviet soldiers as they wandered around. She married in 1976 and she and her husband raised two children. It was not until after the fall of the Iron Curtain that she came to Kladsko. After 1989, the family also regained the property as part of restitution proceedings. At the time of filming (2025) she lived with her family in Police nad Metují.
