“Emotionally meaty…marbled with a lightness of touch.”
—Derek Elley, Variety

A failing marriage and a son-in-law’s resentment set the stage for the downfall of a national hero in this official Czech submission for Oscar consideration. Director Hrebejk (BEAUTY IN TROUBLE, I’M ALL GOOD) deftly juggles intersecting storylines of infidelity and betrayal with a characteristic infusion of wry humor, as a distinguished doctor on the eve of being honored with a national award is revealed to be other than he seems. The family threatens to collapse like a house of cards, but disaster turns out to have a warmly human face in this drama that plumbs the depths of guilt and comes out the other side. In Czech with English subtitles. Special advance screening courtesy of Menemsha Films, Inc. 35mm widescreen. (BS)
