Frantisek ne connait rien de la vie : jusqu'ici, il a passé toute son existence derrière les murs d’un asile psychiatrique. En conséquence tout ce qu’il voit et entend est pour lui une première expérience. De retour au pays, il est du coup le témoin privilégié d’un quadrille amoureux : Olga est éprise d’Emil qui est incapable de choisir entre deux femmes. Sa rivale, Anna, qui n’est autre que sa propre sœur, a une liaison avec le frère d’Emil. Tour à tour confident, témoin et souffre douleur, l’Idiot aime tout le monde et comprend mieux les gens qu’ils ne se comprennent eux-mêmes.Actors

He works behind a counter, recycling glass beer bottles. He begins to flirt with the customers and matchmake both for an old friend and for the man he works with.

Deux copains décident de profiter des vacances, de l'été pour aller faire une virée en voiture. Avec leur 8000 couronnes, ils dénichent une Mazda 626 coupé 1600 qu'ils transforment en cabriolet décoré de plaques françaises pour que la police leur fiche la paix. Et les voilà partis au hasard: vers l'est, vers l'ouest: peu importe la campagne est très jolie des deux côtés et comme le dit la chanson «Nous trouverons un endroit où on fume à l'aise, où le soleil ne chauffe pas trop les bouteilles, où le vent disperse autour de nous des crottes d'oiseaux, où on peut goûter ce qu'on préfère et regarder tranquillement si quelqu'un arrive, quelqu'un qui sait que nous sommes assis là et qui dira "Salut les gars"»

Oskar (Jiří Macháček), a popular TV weather forecaster, suddenly wakes up to an altered sense of identity: rather than belonging to easygoing wife Zuzana (a bewildered Simona Babčáková), he feels he ought to belong to the whole wide world – hence the national embarrassment. His first entanglement is with babysitter Kocicka (Eva Kerekéšová), a lean teenybopper who's more attached to her pet turtle than her older lover – at least until he accidentally smothers it in the dryer. Next in line is mature pop icon Nora (Emília Vášáryová), who's about to teach him a thing or two about freedom: the more people you let in, the more alone you end up feeling.
