Summary
The second film in director Václav Vorlíček’s “Wine trilogy” was released in 1981 and constitutes a connecting line between Bouřlivé víno (Wine Working, 1976) and Mladé víno (Young Wine, 1986). While the first film was set in 1968, the sequel has the residents of the south Moravian winemaking village in the contemporary present, charged with vibrant, striving energy. The protagonist is once again good-hearted winemaker Janák. He is having difficulties with the building of a corn drying kiln and is in a struggle with new agricultural cooperative chairman Urban. The chairman wishes to expand the collective by building a furniture production plant. Janák’s gall bladder can’t endure the stress and the hero is admitted to hospital. However, the operation proves successful and those guilty of fraud and bribery in the collective are justly punished. Vladimír Menšík in the lead role delivers his standard comic performance.
