Aroview: This cheeky Czech favourite comically indulges the disobedience of its retirement-aged protagonist, who, after losing his teaching position and faced with early retirement, undertakes a series of random occupations leading to misadventure.
Belatedly reuniting the director with his acting father after their Oscar-winning KOLYA, this again proved extremely popular on its home turf, though its comparative appeal is more confined to those facing the dilemma of retirement.
