This nostalgic comedy was based on the book by Czech popular writer Michal Viewegh. The story autobiographically recounts family life FROM the beginning of the sixties to the end of the eighties. The protagonist father (Ondřej Vetchý) is a man trying to survive the depths of Communist Normalization with a clear conscience, and it nearly leads him to a nervous breakdown. A sub-motif concerns his son Kvido, the author's alter ego, and his literary and amorous beginnings. (official distributor synopsis)
