Hana is a psychologist – an independent woman, one could say emancipated; her husband is unemployed – jealous of his wife – he finds a younger girlfriend who admires him; their teen-age son Honzík is frustrated – nobody spends time with him. Eva is Hana’s client – a successful, attractive, and well-groomed middle-aged woman having problems with her 25-year-old son – she falls head over heels in love with her son’s friend – her son is offended by his mother’s behavior – but even he finally falls in love with the much older Hana – which, in turn, disgusts Hana’s son. Another patient of Hana, millionaire Dub, looks very much like Bolek Polívka – suffers from depression because he can have anything he wants but is bored with it all – he longs for Hana – she rejects him – and on and on… There are many more characters in our story – young and old, poor and rich – visiting Hana’s clinic, they churn out their problems. The film should evoke a feeling of a kaleidoscope of various comical, tragic, and even banal fragments of human existence.
