A gardener (Oldřich Kaiser) and his wife (Dáša Vokatá) live at the foot of a picturesque hill and take care of their small nursery. But their idyllic life is disrupted when a new owner buys the nearby palace and begins transforming the local landscape according to his ideas. When the nursery obstructs his plans, a series of bizarre events is triggered. The new owner installs a razor-wire fence, closes the local access road, and hires a security guard (Štěpán Kozub). He then gradually ups the ante in order to achieve his goals. Determined to defend his home, the gardener refuses to give in. While the police (Jiří Vyorálek, Tomáš Jeřábek) and the mayor (Alena Mihulová) become ever more mired in their own bureaucracy, the gardener decides to take matters into his own hands. The new film by Jiří Havelka, combining bizarre, absurd, and tragicomic elements, is framed by the Karel Čapek work of the same name. In theaters July 18, 2024.
