Robert works for a travel agency and helps to arrange scenes from the everyday lives of "ordinary" Czech families as an attraction for Japanese tourists. He also works as a kind of matchmaker and occasionally helps to put together some of his friends. He helps to separate his friend Hanka from Peter, an announcer for an independent radio station who tries to capture "real" life by recording the moments from "reality" and playing them over the air. Vesna, came to Prague from Macedonia because it is according to her the best place for UFOs to land, but her real reason for coming is somewhat different... Hanka is followed by the crazy Ondrej, until then a respected brain surgeon, and married with two kids.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a tangled web of relationships, where each character seeks connection in a world of chance encounters and solitude. It relies on irony and absurdity to explore the search for meaning in post-socialist Prague through work, love, and friendship.

What lingers after viewing is a mosaic of eccentric fates, where comedy borders on sadness, and ridiculous situations expose human fragility. A warm, albeit slightly cynical, saga about a lost generation. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: David Ondříček
