Summary

Július Matula’s romantic film stars Dana Syslová and Milan Kňažko as coworkers who become close during a trip to Slovakia. Thirty-three year-old Květa, an introverted, independent woman, reluctantly agrees to give a lift to her philandering colleague, Karol Molnár, so he can get to his sister’s wedding. Karol’s family mistakes her for his girlfriend, which eventually leads to a real relationship. The burgeoning love between the responsible Květa and the reckless Karol leads to a “cross-border” romance which mostly takes place in a picturesque Slovak village. Štěfan Mišovic and Katarína Vrzalová star as Karol’s parents; Jiří Adamíra plays the part of assistant professor Horák, Květa’s friend.
