Summary
Theatre and TV director Zdeněk Míka builds on a script by highly experienced screenwriter Jaroslav Dietl. In Tchán, the first time director, aged 60 at the time, tells the story of farming cooperative employee Vavřinec, in charge of malfunctioning agricultural machinery and also a large family. Vavřinec’s youngest daughter Štěpánka wants to marry a machine technician from a neighbouring village, ignoring her father’s wish for her to study at an agricultural university. Vavřinec believes he has prevailed, but Štěpánka is about to spring a surprise… The leading parts in this popular comedy from 1977 go to Josef Bláha in the role of Vavřinec, Dagmar Veškrnová as the stubborn Štěpánka, and Svatopluk Skopal as the girl’s relentless suitor. Vlastimil Brodský excels in the role of Štěpánka’s grandfather.
