Laika
Life is not easy for Laika, a dog on the outskirts of a big Russian city. She is caught and forcibly retrained to become a pioneer in astronautics. Soon after her lift-off into space, a number of animals follow that are hurriedly launched from Houston and Baikonur. The animals travel astray but finally manage, with the help of a black hole, to colonize a faraway planet. After a short period of harmonious, undisturbed co-existence with indigenous life forms, however, first human cosmonaut run ashore on their planet, and their harmonious life, indeed their very survival, is suddenly in jeopardy.
Life is Life
The head of the family, grumpy and strict František (Ondřej Vetchý), would alongside his three daughters like to see capable and successful men. But they all have a great talent for finding quite the opposite. The eldest daughter with her unsuccessful husband have to move back to her parents' and if possible she continues trying to conceive. The middle one is unmistakably stalked by sheer weirdos. And the youngest daughter? Well, in love, she is successful way too much. She is sixteen, pregnant and does not know with whom. In addition to this, the traditional oasis and a fixed point of the couple – holidays – begins to break down. Every year they go to „Mácháč“ but Jane (Simona Stašová) begins to dream about the sea. Then a slightly bohemian writer with suicidal tendencies appears in her life, a beautiful colleague with Spanish ancestry in František’s life… and things start rolling. All the little stories add up to one big and funny life with situations each of us knows. But not everyone leads a second and considerably more adventurous life as a fearless agent. František does.
A Colourful Dream
With humor our adventure story deals with the timeless theme of the conflict between unlimited power on the one hand, and the desire for freedom, courage and love on the other.
