Summary
For her directing debut, Zuzana Hojdová opted for an intimate relationship drama, co-authoring the screenplay with Olga Hanzlíková. At the heart of the story is fashion designer Anna who feels neglected by her husband, stage designer Honza. Meanwhile, at work she does not experience much by way of self-fulfilment. It comes as little surprise that she finds short-term comfort in an affair with Honza’s younger colleague, Pavel. However, when she gets pregnant Anna is faced by the dilemma of whether to keep the child despite her not knowing who the father is… Adding appeal to this ordinary woman’s story are the professions of the protagonists and a strong cast, particularly when it comes to Jana Krausová in the main role. The husband is played by Jan Kraus while František Staněk is the seducer. Supporting roles in this film, which forfeits social context in favour of a very close drama setting, are taken by Eva Holubová, Jiřina Jirásková and Vlastimil Brodský.
