Loners
Seven young people between the ages of twenty-three and thirty-three attempt to practice what used to be called a love affair in a big city in the late 1990s. And so they bump into each other amorously and get carried away across various longer or shorter-term romances that lead them back to loneliness.
Vesna came to Prague from Macedonia because it is according to her the best place for UFOs to land, but her real reason for coming is somewhat different. Robert works for a travel agency and helps to arrange scenes from the everyday lives of „ordinary“ Czech families as an attraction for Japanese tourists. He also works as a kind of matchmaker and occasionally helps to put together some of his friends. He helps to separate his friend Hanka from Peter, an announcer for an independent radio station who tries to capture „real“ life by recording the moments from „reality“ and playing them over the air. Hanka is followed by the crazy Ondřej, until then a respected brain surgeon, and married with two kids. Through him she meets Jakub, who uses copious amounts of weed in order to be constructive in this gloomy world. On the other hand, this destroys his short-term memory – and he forgets that he already has a girlfriend.
