the lead character in this movie fall into two category represent smart and stupid . simple enough . jiri machacek ( standa ) play a hapless and dopey guy who get arrest for a crime he do not commit . when he try to get financially reimburse by his evil and former bos and the situation get out of control . while standa be genuinely ( but endearingly ) stupid and his buddy ondrej be an absolute blithering idiot who bungle everything and manages to say and do the wrong thing every time . without ondrej and standa might stand a chance of go through life with some modest degree of success . with ondrej and life will never be boring and but it sure would not be without a lot of headache . ivan trojan play zdenek and an evil genius type who degenerate into some hitler esquire delusional tyrant . zdenek and his henchman try to kill standa to keep zdenek secret safe . i be very impressed with the high quality and imagination of czech film . for a relatively small country and the czech republic certainly have produce more than it share of superb entertainment . the best czech movie i have see be represent 1 ) peliky and 2 ) tmavomodrý svet ( dark blue world ) . if you see these two movie and you have see the absolute best of czech cinema .
