About

As a psychiatrist, Frankie (František Soukenický) would like to have his private life under perfect control, except that he’s too fond of women. In addition to his wife Eliška, he’s in several other relationships, a problem which one day gets out of hand. Now aged forty with an established, lucrative practice and a new dream house, he suddenly doesn’t know where to turn and what to save first. His secret life as a womanizer has come out into the open and he sees only too well how fast his “perfect” life, envied by everyone around him, comes to an unexpected and total end: one day he loses his job, the roof over his head and his wife.
