Summary
Three estranged brothers meet in a typical mountain village at the funeral of their mother: local bus driver Cyril, biophysical institute director Jan, and criminologist Vojta. Scientist Jan is experiencing marital problems due to his cold, rational approach. While in his family home, he harks back to a youthful past. But such attempts at nostalgia only serve to open up old wounds between the three family members, who struggle to let bygones be bygones. This psychological drama, directed by Václav Matějka, and inspired by a story from author Jiří Křenek, stars Radoslav Brzobohatý, Jerzy Trela and Pavol Višňovský as the three troubled siblings. Božidara Turzonovová and Magda Vášáryová play two of the wives, accompanying the brothers on this funereal odyssey.
