A dark and absurd road-movie comedy in which the grandmother fulfills a dream, the mother stops treating her daughters like kids, the daughters stop treating their husbands like idiots, and the father's ashes get spread all over the country.

Based on a radio play by Elena Antalova. The original psychological chamber story, centred on the relationship between a mother and daughter condemned to forced cohabitation, in which the wrongs and traumas of the past gradually emerge in the fate of a family marked by a tragic secret, has been expanded in the television version to include a retrospective narrative, capturing the turning points of social change and their impact on the characters and relationships within the family. As the mystery surrounding the tragic death of the youngest daughter is gradually revealed, the dramatic tension and development of the two women's relationships builds suggestively towards the shattering discovery of the truth, the dilemma of punishment and its meaning, and the cathartic reconciliation.

A fairytale story in which love and humanity are not just words, but become a force that words cannot describe. You won't find three identical stars in the sky, three identical stones on the earth, nor three identical beings among the wizards - the old and wise Habra, the suggestive Hobrix and the beautiful Harex watched over an imperfect, emotion-ridden human race until malice and love entered their lives as well.

Agáta, a sensitive and impractical childless widow, is placed in a retirement home not out of neglect or poverty but because her middle-aged relatives, overwhelmed by their own responsibilities, believe she will fare better among peers. Unprepared for life among strangers with quirky habits and opinions, she strives to adapt yet finds herself traumatized by the selfishness of a difficult roommate.

The original contemporary TV movie is an intimate story of a relationship between a middle-aged man and woman whose perspective is diminished by a different set of moral values. It is also a confrontation of two principles at work in today's world - the ruthlessly pragmatic, the ruthlessly "impractical" in its focus on the dying values of interpersonal relationships, the quiet harmony of life, and aesthetic beauty.

Television dramatisation of the novella by brothers Jules and Edmond Goncourt. The melodramatic romantic story of young Germinie, who has always longed for love and understanding, but has missed out on much in life. From a young age, she served in the service of various people, until she was finally taken in by Miss. She loved her, and to Germinie, Missy was everything. But when the young woman meets Bibi, the milkman's son, her destiny becomes so tangled up because of a tragic love affair that she betrays all the ideals and moral values of her life.

A story of first love, first desire, first renunciation and fulfilment of a dream.

Unlike any other opera, the so-called Beggar's Opera is not just one composition, but a lineage of adapted compositions, beginning with the original hugely successful 1728 political satire written by Englishman John Gay. Composers and writers have penned variations on it ever since. The most famous of these was A Threepenny Opera by Bertholt Brecht and Kurt Weill. Some things these compositions share in common is their setting among the poor and criminal classes, and the roguish character Macheath. This production is based on an adaptation of Gay's original by Vaclav Havel the freedom-fighter, writer and philosopher who became the first (and only) president of the united post-communist country of Czechoslovakia, and it retains many traces of its theatrical origins. Film reviewers were not too tolerant of what they called "slavish adherence" to the noted Czech writer's stage production, but theater, philosophy and history buffs may feel otherwise.
