Innocence / Nevinnost
Synopsis
Respected pediatrician Tomáš, living with his family in a luxurious three-generation villa in Prague's Troja, is accused of sexual abuse by a minor patient. Overnight, he is forced to exchange his good reputation and home address for a cell in a detention facility, where proving one's innocence is extremely difficult. Tomáš faces the girl's accusation as well as a past betrayal when he stole his friend’s wife. This friend is now assigned to investigate the case. He too must decide whether to avenge the old humiliation or remain true to his professional integrity, separating personal matters from work. The situation challenges not only Tomáš but also his wife Milada and her sister Lída, who keep the matter secret from their authoritative father, fearing it could be fatal for him. As the seemingly baseless accusation surfaces, long-buried grievances and disappointments within the family come to light. All of Tomáš's life mistakes and achievements now weigh on the scales of justice, leading to unexpected twists in the story.

Kawasaki's Rose / Kawasakiho růže
Synopsis
Psychiatrist Pavel Josek is highly respected not only in his profession but also in the broader community. As a former dissident and signatory of Charter 77, he endured harassment from the communist State Security alongside his wife. Now, he is about to receive the Memory of the Nation Award and is giving interviews for a documentary film. His son-in-law Luděk, who works as a sound technician on the documentary, feels undervalued within the family. Therefore, he is deeply affected when his colleagues obtain Josek's file from the State Security archives, revealing that in the early 1970s, Josek actually collaborated with the StB. As a young psychiatrist, he informed on a promising sculptor, Bořek, his rival in love, eventually driving Bořek out of the country. This revelation leads to a difficult period for all members of Josek's family, including those who were not yet born at the time. Each family member has their own perspective on what happened. Adding to the complexity is the retired StB officer Kafka, who once managed both young men and now enjoys a quiet retirement.
