Summary
Screenwriter Halina Pawlowská and director Milan Šteindler teamed-up on two successful movies – Vrať se do hrobu (Go Back to Your Grave!, 1989) and Díky za každé nové ráno (I Thank You for Each New Morning, 1994). But their first collaboration was a joint screenwriting assignment on the relationship comedy Můj hříšný muž (My Sinful Husband, 1986). Director Václav Matějka also had a hand in the script. It was his influence that led to a film which only examines the problem of balancing maternal and work-related duties on a more superficial level. The heroine of the story is Marta, portrayed by Dagmar Veškrnová. As an ambitious budding geneticist, Marta must balance work and family life. Husband Zdeněk (Oldřich Kaiser) deals with the growing tensions by finding a mistress. Shattered Marta finds understanding for her plight, and shelter for her young daughter, with a colleague (Jan Hartl) – but she has no idea how this decent man can help her to resolve her complicated situation.
