Description
The Fifth Wheel to a Coach / Pate kolo u vozu DVD
Synopsis
This Czech comedy explores how even the seemingly unnecessary "fifth wheel" can shake up an apparently orderly family and intervene at the right time to prevent disaster. An independent editor of a women's magazine advises grandparents not to let themselves be exploited by their adult children, yet she willingly accepts her own energetic retired mother working in her household as an all-purpose helper without pay or recognition. Inspired by an article written by her daughter, the grandmother rebels. Moreover, she is wise enough to prevent the breakup of her family's marriage. The film's strong moral tendencies are kept within acceptable limits, and its message is delivered with a good dose of humor.
