Summary
This bittersweet comedy, released in 1982, is the third film created by director Hynek Bočan in collaboration with Moravian writer Josef Kostrhun. Josef Kemr stars as the down-to-earth but distinctive old villager Dobeš who moves into the house of his adult son. He is troubled by both the unsettled relations between his son (Ivan Vyskočil) and daughter-in-law (Kateřina Macháčková) and a local stud farm’s horse auction. Together with his friend Hubert (Miroslav Macháček), he tries to help the poor animals in any way possible. Dobeš’s only real joy is his small grandson (Ondřej Mikšíček), whom he teaches love for nature and honest work… This multi-generational story describes the irreconcilable clash of an old villager with new times that gradually take away from him everything he has ever trusted and cherished.
