The ZAHRADNICTVÍ (GARDEN STORE) trilogy consists of three separate films, all taking place in Czechoslovakia, set against the backdrop of some of the most dramatic periods of the past century (1939-1959), starting with WWII, covering the period of post-war optimism, and ending with the rise of the Communist dictatorship. It tells the story of three related families: the family of an air radio operator, the family of the owner of a hair salon, and the family of a garden store owner. The trilogy encompasses twenty years of the lives of its characters, who had to live out the best years of their lives in these complicated times.
NÁPADNÍK (SUITOR) takes place towards the end of the 1950s and tells the story of family relationships marked by the war and the Communist coup. It depicts the generational clash between the pre-war and post-war generations from a tragicomic perspective. Suitor is a romantic comedy about the ideas parents have about the happiness of their children. (Cinemart)
