Praga, 1950. Hakl, un miembro de la policía comunista, investiga un robo aparentemente mundano en la tienda de un orfebre. A pesar de todo, su deseo por la verdad, le conduce hasta una nueva prueba que indica que el caso es mucho más complicado de lo que parece. La Seguridad del Estado se hace cargo de la investigación y lo sustituye por un especialista alemán en crimen sionista, Zenke, cuya ominosa llegada parece ser mucho más que una simple coincidencia. Hakl continúa desafiante por su cuenta con su investigación, y envía a ambos hombres a un choque con los poderes del Estado más allá de lo que podrían haber sospechado.

Grandhotel
Director
Grandhotel je místo mezi nebem a zemí. Místo, kudy plují mraky a lidské touhy. Metaforický příběh je zasazený do slavného hotelu tyčícího se nad Libercem. V něm, jako strážný a vězeň zároveň, pracuje Fleischman, údržbář a amatérský meteorolog, který chtěl mít k nebi tak blízko, jak jen mu to život dovolí. A výš to už nejde.
One Hand Can't Clap
Director
Jedna ruka netleska...
Loners
Producer
Robert works for a travel agency and helps to arrange scenes from the everyday lives of "ordinary" Czech families as an attraction for Japanese tourists. He also works as a kind of matchmaker and occasionally helps to put together some of his friends. He helps to separate his friend Hanka from Peter, an announcer for an independent radio station who tries to capture "real" life by recording the moments from "reality" and playing them over the air. Vesna, came to Prague from Macedonia because it is according to her the best place for UFOs to land, but her real reason for coming is somewhat different... Hanka is followed by the crazy Ondrej, until then a respected brain surgeon, and married with two kids. Through him she meets Jacob, who uses copious amounts of weed in order to be constructive in this gloomy world. On the other hand, this destroys his short-term memory - and he forgets that he already has a girlfriend...
