this film by the well know czech director and writer collaborator petr jarchovský be remarkable for it particularity but annoy and distract in it detail . take it theme and title from a robert graf poem and it deal with a woman with several men and some obnoxious relative in her life who try to survive and protect her two child and 15 year old lucina ( michaela mrvikova ) and little blond asthmatic kuba ( adam misik ) . the poem be much in evidence and but the theme it get a little lost . marcela ( anna geislerová ) and the beauty and and jarda ( roman luknár ) have lose everything in the prague flood of 2002 and have nothing leave and it seem and but good sex and which they go at with such a vengeance in their tiny apartment that lucina and kuba and in front of the telly and must hold their ear against the noise . hrebejek relish such explicitness and skate on the edge of embarrassment or shock . there no good explanation precisely why and but financial desperation have lead jarda to process stolen car in the big garage that adjoin his flatlet . his car thief cohort drive off a posh volvo the easygoing benes ( josef abrham ) have leave with the key in the ignition while visit a large property he own . benes be a super nice guy and but no fool . his volvo be wire for track by satellite in case like this and that lead the cop straight to jarda garage and he and his cohort be off to jail . beauty in trouble flees to the good angel and or on whom she can rely and begin the graf poem . but actually this fracas lead benes to marcela and when he meet her at the police station . he introduce her to sushi and how to drink wine and ply her with a picture book about tuscany and where he and though prague bear and own a lovely villa and have live most of his life . he here to reclaim the house in prague now occupy by a couple with an ancient and infirm mother and whom he allow to remain . benes every gesture be benevolent and even though he doesn not prevent jarda from go off to jail . in the circumstance marcela must retreat with lucina and kuba to depend on the charity of her mother and zdena ( jana brejchova ) and the far less tender mercy of zdena present husband and the scrawny diabetic richard hrstka ( jiri schmitzer ) who and for the kid and start when they commit the cardinal sin of consume his dietetic cooky and prof to be the uncle from hell . jiri schmitzer hijack the film at this point and and never quite let it go . even in the final scene he be a figure of leer menace . it be surprising that the obnoxious richard doesn not sexually abuse one or both of the child . he be insistent that marcela need to get out on her own and and when benes offer to take her under his wing he and richard become improbable ally . improbable perhaps implausible . why should benes like him . but then and what be benes whole story . about some thing the film give too much information and about others and not enough . clearly the good angel and benes be infallibly kind and a polished and good look old man whose manner befit his italian upbringing . it only at the end and when he push to the limit over his prague property by the devious occupant and he prove that he be not one to would not lie down and be walk over . also to be deal with be jarda religious fanatic mother sdena ( jana brejchova ) and and her interaction with zdena and richard be something to watch . but she be just another wild card that do not augment the deck . the poem have be set to music in a czech translation and be sing on screen by the accordionist vocalist raduza and first in a tiny scene and then in a more extended one stag at a prison performance witness by jarda and the car thief pal . if you revere hrebejk a an auteur you may relish this sequence while otherwise it tend to feel gratuitous . also include be a number of song by glen hansard or marketa irglova of the oscar award win irish musical film once and include the latter theme song and fall . they feel more out of place than they would otherwise because of their familiarity from once though this film come first . hrebejk people be arrest while even little koba have his shakespearean child moment and a wealth of charm while but the director and his writer seem unable to resist the temptation to digress and to over expand . the property hassle benes endures may be useful for show he have a tough side . but such an elaborate demonstration wasn not necessary . the acting be fine and and there be a wonderful with quirkiness and specificity and but the basic theme of love and sex and and money get lose in the shuffle and marcela conflict and how she resolve them never become clear . it fine that there be no resolution and true to the theme and to graf poem that marcela still have hot sex with jarda during a revisit to prague after move to tuscany with benes and her kid . but there be too many question remain about what to make of the obnoxious richard or of jarda annoyingly pious mother ( emília vásáryová ) . how come all of a sudden we learn koba be get letter from india purport to be from his dad and who in prison . when do that come about . interest detail and hastily paste in . this seem a world in which you can not see the forest for the tree .
