Plots(1)

A bittersweet comedy set just prior to 1984, during the era of 'practical socialism'. For political reasons, Bedřich Mára has had to give up teaching at Prague's Academy of Art. He is not allowed to exhibit and has been pushed to the sidelines of interest and lucrative commissions. He and his ceramicist wife and two sons live in a small apartment on the outskirts of Prague. Míla Bečka, the school principal, and his family stand in stark contrast to the Máras. Comrade Míla and his ambitious wife, Bedrich's fellow student from the Academy, have gone with the socialist flow for years. They find justification for their behavior in the usual words: 'Someones got to swim along with them to make things better; someones got to make that sacrifice!' (official distributor synopsis)
