Movie6.7ComedyVašek learns that he is dying, so he steals a painting and goes to Rome to sell it – he needs money for a healer. Sitting on a train with a fake mustache on his face, he has no idea that he has, in fact, been sent on a spiritual quest of his life by a beautiful girl. His pursuers look as if they were transported from a 1970’s movie, yet his attention is constantly drawn to the other passengers, who pull him into their own stories with no mercy. Vašek slowly gets lost in a colorful chaos of other people’s destinies, opinions and his own dreams. In the end, his train will take some of them to hell, others to enlightenment or a bizarre epiphany. The film takes a humorous view on all the basic philosophical questions we have heard so many times but that we have yet to find the answers to.
Movie5.5DramaThe story takes place over 24 hours in Prague. Klára, Viki, and Mechanik live on the edge of the law every day.

Klára has partially overcome her addiction, but she is troubled by the absence of a home. She is about to give birth. The neighborhood where they all live is controlled by a pair of enforcers: a former boxer and his partner Majk. Their fates will dramatically intersect during the course of the day. And it will cost someone their life.
