Set in a bleak Bohemian town, liberally scattered with broken down cars and half-ruined industrial installations, this sympathetic, affecting drama outlines the unorthodox love affair of two fellow apartment block residents (Tonik and Monika), thrown together by their friendship with a third, the mentally unstable Dasa (Geislerová). Liska is excellent as the gentle Tonik who matches the betrothed Monika in selflessness as they share the burden of looking after Dasa two young children as Dasa’s behaviour deteriorates. Writer/director Sláma shows considerable adeptness in tonal control, melding quite seamlessly the social and emotional concerns of his observant script.
In a midsized northern Bohemian city scarred by the rusted remnants of long-shuttered heavy industry, three childhood friends live bound by adult complexities in the desultory block of flats in which they grew up. Monika (Tatiana Vilhelmova), having said goodbye to U.S.-bound b.f. Jiri (David Dolnik), spends her time yearning for the call to join him and enduring an emotional tug of war between her parents (Simona Stasova, Bolek Polivka).
