Zahradnictví: Dezertér - DVD

The film trilogy Gardening consists of three separate films set against the backdrop of the most dramatic periods of the last century and takes place before the beloved film Pelíšky (1999). It tells the story of three families: the family of an aviation radio telegrapher, the family of a hair salon owner, and the family of a gardening business owner. It spans 20 years of the characters' lives, who had to experience the best years of their lives during these tumultuous times. The second chapter of the family chronicle Gardening takes place against the backdrop of revolutionary events from 1947 to 1953. The main character is Otto Bock (Jiří Macháček), the owner of the prestigious hair salon Valentino in the center of Prague, and his family, whom he employs there. The business is the meaning and fulfillment of his life; after all the wartime hardships, he returns as a respected boss with his wife Ela (Gabriela Míčová) and her sisters Bedřiška (Klára Melíšková) and Vilma (Aňa Geislerová). The sisters survived the war and the German occupation together and took care of the small children of their husbands, who were arrested for anti-Nazi resistance. Now, they all strive with tremendous effort to realize their dream, but a turning point comes after the February communist coup. Otto's business is expropriated by the state, and for the second time in his life, it falls apart...
