Synopsis

A bitter comedy about a world in which the female principle is mightier than the male, the soft is mightier
than the hard, and water is mightier than stone.
Jirka, Ivan, and Roman have been friends since they were all students together. Today they are around
thirty-five or forty, and have different professions and careers, but their friendship has endured. They’re
married – Jirka’s wife is called Vanda, Roman’s Anna, and Ivan’s Johanka – they’re successful, and they’re
all working on their careers. Jirka owns a private gallery, Roman is a doctor, and Ivan a diplomat. Each of
the three friends has a secret. Those secrets come to light, radically changing their lives. How will the
three friends cope with the trials facing them? Will their friendship survive? And does that kind of
friendship exist between women too?
