The adaptation of Michal Viewegh's best-selling novel concerns an episode in the life of Oskar Wégh, an elementary school teacher and budding writer who accepts a difficult assignment: tutoring a rich businessman's daughter. He soon enters into a troubled love relationship with the girl. In addition to topnotch performances by Ondřej Pavelka, Anna Geislerová and Milan Lasica, the film excels for its visual conception and atypical use of literary citation.
