The five-year relationship between older Michal and Veronika has reached a crossroads. While he is already planning children and a family, she feels that she has not experienced anything yet and wants to have fun. They live side by side without really being together. Under pressure from arguments and fear of breaking up, Michal comes up with a mysterious vacation for Veronika. From the beginning, however, everything is different from what the meticulous Michal had planned, and Veronika shows her disappointment. The trip through Scandinavia and the situations it puts them in hold up a mirror to themselves and their relationship. Everything seems to confirm that they should no longer be together. An encounter with Šimon, an adventurer and petty thief who is always on the road, gives their lives and their relationship an unexpected reflection and moves them forward.

Doktor od jezera hrochů (2010)
Character: Venda Maňas
The story of Doctor Čeněk Dobešek - a decent, kind man who seems almost out of place in today’s world. Though he’s a conscientious physician, he hasn’t learned to exploit his calling for personal gain the way many of his former classmates or hospital colleagues do. Happily settled in a modest two-room apartment with his lovely wife Zuzana and his dreadful mother-in-law Marie Košvancová, Čeněk cheerfully drops everything at any hour to answer the doorbell and tend to whoever needs him. His humble generosity scandalizes Marie, who’d much rather have a “real” Doctor as a son-in-law: someone famous, wealthy, and who never works for free, unlike Čeněk.

UŽ (1996)
Character: N/A
A naive village girl, Valentýna, arrives in Prague and, under dramatic circumstances, becomes reluctantly entangled in the Karlín underworld as a novice prostitute controlled by the slimy gangster Pavouk and his bumbling henchman Milan. She repeatedly refuses the genuine support offered by the incorruptible mounted policeman Viktor Sokol, even as two eccentric observers serve as a choric commentary on the absurdities around them. Through parodic and poetic scenes, ranging from western-inspired mounted police sequences to a surreal “war” over exporting plastic gnomes, the film satirizes contemporary Czech society.
