Directing
No biography available.
A tragicomic story about the "hug" that all the characters long for, especially sociologist Oskar, an indecisive loser whose daily bizarre encounters with old people in nursing homes lead to feelings of futility, emptiness, and loss of vital energy, which reinforce his refusal to bring a child into this meaningless world. However, his wife's desire for motherhood grows.
Zdeněk and Jana take care of their little daughter Jitka together. Both sacrifice part of their privacy for their family. Both feel that they are doing everything they can, but at the same time, both are convinced that the other should do even more to make it "fair." What starts as an innocent crisis between two partners gradually escalates into hatred with almost criminal consequences.
