Probably the best Czech movie I've seen this year. Alois Svehlik was a great substitute for Jan Triska and his wisdom sounded very credible and truthful. The movie will make the viewer really think about the truths of life.Visual was also OK, I liked the soundtrack and there was the tension kept me watching the movie without interruption. In addition, there was many funny scenes. For me it's basically all the movie should have.

I'm an Indian residing in Prague with A1 level of spoken Czech. I watched this movie since it was screened with English subtitles (they should do this type more often). I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It's a low-budget but nice, feel-good movie. The protagonist old man has acted extremely well. Others were average to good in my opinion. From a different perspective - I'd especially recommend this movie to expats who want to improve their A1/A2 Czech language. The dialogues were simple and someone with A2 competency should follow the without any trouble. I could follow most of them with my A1. Again - loved this movie :)

The movie tells about an elderly retired school teacher leaving in Prague and a young Vietnamese running from the police. The plot is well-written, complete and coherent. The theme of Vietnamese minority (who are one of the largest in the Czech Republic) contributes to the story and to exoticism of some opening scenes, but is not overdone. Otherwise the story touches the fundamental issues of aging and self-doubt and sends out a clear message. The performance from Alois Svehlík is superb (with the Clint Eastwood style looks), Duy Anh Tran's debut is also very good and the rest of the cast supports them well. Generally, the movie is well balanced, it's funny, it's heart-warming, it's thought provoking. All in all, a very pleasant experience.
