Summary

Actor and singer Ondřej Havelka has often been cast in the roles of diffident, courteous young men. In this 1987 comedy, directed by Stanislav Strnad, he plays Jirka Spěváček, a young village policeman. In his infatuation with the beautiful secretary Jitka (Jana Nagyová), he offers to take care of children whose parents have left for the harvest festival in a neighbouring town. The calculating Jitka blithely departs to visit a friend, and Jirka is left to deal with the little rascals who do everything they can to undermine his authority. It’s a good thing he has the help of the lovely pig-keeper Kamila to deal with the children, who are only causing a commotion because they miss their mums and dads. In the end, they even manage to capture a seasoned criminal… Josef Bláha, Vlastimil Brodský, Marie Rosůlková and many other well-known actors took part as odd villagers.
