Summary
Gottwaldov Film Studios (now Zlín) replenished the supply of “socially engaged” 1980s feature films with this drama. The lead character is Dubovec, the ageing chairman of a successful agricultural cooperative. After overworking himself, he ends up in hospital, where, as an eminent local, he receives extra care and gets on the path to a slow recovery. Dubovec recounts how he succeeded in turning the pitiful cooperative into a thriving business. Doctor Holková tends to the patient, and urges him to realise that life is about more than just work. However, she is experiencing marriage troubles that she is not able to solve… The leading parts in the feature – a good example of “ideological film production” of its time – are played by Karel Vochoč and Jaroslava Tvrzníková.
