Simona Stasová
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.

Cosy Dens
A family retro-comedy for all ages set at the end of the sixties about everyday family fun and hardship, about the drama inherent in relationships and differing opinions, about sorrow—but also finally, about the awakening of first love. This is a gently poetic and humorous story of the fate of aging parents, maturing teens and younger children. The actual plot of the film takes place in villa, in which two families, the Šebeks and Krauses, live side by side. Mr. Šebek, a simple-minded, good-natured officer by profession is a supporter of the ruling political regime. In contrast, Mr. Kraus, a former resistance fighter with bitter war experiences is his staunch adversary. In the end, each member of both families must live out his own story in his own “cozy den“ untill the Soviet invasion of August 1968 violently disturbs their world.
