Prepare to cry. A lot.
This Czech Oscar winning movie by father Zdeněk and his son Jan Svěrák is not what you would expect. It’s a movie about a tender relationship between two very different individuals, who cannot understand each other when it comes to language or personal needs.
A grumpy musician František Louka played by Zdeněk Svěrák was fired from the prestigious Czech Philharmonic for political reasons. Despite his hatred towards Russians, he agrees to marry a Russian woman for money so he could afford a car. It is only an official wedding that will provide her a Czechoslovakian citizenship that she needs in order to travel to the western bloc where she eventually emigrates. She leaves her little 5-year-old son Kolya played by Andrej Chalimon with her mother, his grandmother. Things start to escalate quickly when Kolya’s grandmother dies after a heart attack. Naturally, the only person that could take care of this little boy is Louka, who by marriage has become his stepfather. How will František behave and what will he do? Come to our cinema where you will find out the rest of this incredibly touching story and get to know the fundamental facts about Czecho-Russian relationship during the socialistic era.
