Beschreibung
It is the summer of 1938, and clouds are gathering over the republic. In the bedroom of a villa in Braník lie two naked dead bodies, a woman and a man – it seems that Major Činovský was shot by the rising film star Zuzana, who then committed suicide. However, the investigation will reveal that the dead girl was a virgin, and an exotic cigarette butt is found at the murder scene... Who is the murderer of the Czechoslovak major and the beauty from Prague's high society? Is there a third party involved, and is Zuzana's suicide merely staged? Finding the real murderer will be nearly impossible in these difficult times, especially when political interests and considerations come into play. The values of the republic are shaking at their foundations, yet the main characters are having a good time at a luxurious party... Nostalgia for a vanishing world is successfully overshadowed by exaggeration and humor, albeit with a bitter aftertaste. A witty retort is valued! Let's dive into the stream of amazing scenes: "It was exactly seven o'clock in the evening when we arrived in my boss Tom Lomala's Rolls-Royce at the villa of Mr. Industrialist Ivo Zdeborský in Barrandov."
