Sedmikrasky (Küçük Papatyalar): her ikisi de Marie adlı, 17 yaşında iki özgür kızın (Jitka Cerhovâ ve Ivana Karbanovâ) hikâyesini anlatır. Kızların bir olay örgüsünden çok, unutulmaz bir edepsizlik sahneleri dizisi oluşturan çeşitli çılgınlıkları arasında, Chytilovâ'nın başını hükümetle belaya sokmasına yol açan birçok penis- karşıtı gag'ler (salatalık ve muz soymak gibi), çirkin yaşlı adamlara eğilim ve kaliteli yemeklerin ikram edildiği herkese açık (Laurel ve Hardy'ye rakip olabilecek cinsten) bir parti bulunur. Bu rahatsız edici ama özgürleştirici güç gösterisi, yetenekli yönetmeninin özgürlükle neler yapabileceğini gözler önüne serer. Jacques Rivette'nin Celine and Julie Go Boating'i üzerinde büyük bir etkisi olan Sedmikrasky, eleştirmen Ruby Rich'in de dile getirdiği üzere, Medusa'nın kahkahası ola¬rak yorumlanabilecek, yıkıcı, canlı, enerjik ve çoğu erkek izleyici için (tehditkâr değilse bile) ürkütücü kadın kıkırdamalarıma dopdolu.

In this zany Czechoslovakian comedy, a scientist invents a machine that projects a sleeping person's dream on a screen; disaster soon follows when the machine malfunctions and the cartoon-like dream characters become very real!

In this movie, TV sets are full of life. If a person is in TV (e.g. because it was filmed on the street) it has a double that's right in the TV set. This double needs energy from the true character to survive. Each time, the real human watches TV, his Double will pull life energy from him. So there's a mysterious Death-serial. Many persons die in front of their TV set and nobody knows why. Olda, the main character, is one of the persons, that get more and more weak. He is near death, till Fisarek, the natural healer appears. He teaches Olda how he can resist this magic force and how he can fight it.

The story of Zdeněk Troška's new comedy, which was inspired by countless stone jokes, takes us to a peaceful South Bohemian town. A whole range of typically Czech characters and prototype families live here with their unchanging rhythm. For example, the Nováks. Pepa's father is a captain of the city police, his wife Vilma is a teacher, his daughter Julia is studying health, and nine-year-old Pepíček comments in an unspeakable way on everything that is happening around. The boy literally starts to have eyes on top of his head when a noble couple arrives in Kameňákov from England, to whom the local castle was returned as part of the restitution. Nothing is hidden in a small town, and soon everyone knows that the lord has come here to look for his father's treasure. Such news will bring the whole of Kameňákov to its feet and literally keep three local mafia members, the rich Kohn, the handsome chief of police and the experienced criminal, awake. And then things start to happen...

The psychological story begins innocently enough with a meeting between two young people in the basement of a suburban house. A flirtatious and bored girl, who is not particularly selective about her lovers, provokes an unpredictable reaction in her partner with her unexpected rejection. Not only does the boy rape the girl, but, fearing discovery, he kills her. All this is witnessed by a little boy wandering through the holiday-empty house, who thus becomes an inconvenient and dangerous witness for the murderer. The psychological and later physical "battle" between these two unequal opponents, who are not really opponents at all, culminates in a story of guilt and punishment, and at the same time of a special friendship and loyalty.
