Synopsis

What will you do when your platonic love of 25 years becomes your true love? Maybe everything and maybe nothing. Maybe you’ll find that what you didn’t manage in 25 years, you’ll never manage... The unfulfilled dreams from teenage years, the dreams had by each of our movie’s protagonists and each of us. An unexpected meeting of Professor Karda, Viki Cabadaj and Marika brings the “old gang of daffodils and tough guys” together again at the mountain resort in Pec pod Sněžkou and sets the stage for new, funny stories. The main actors are not the same but they have their offspring. Jana Cabadajová and Petr Mácha. They both end up in Pec for different reasons and, along with a trio of young boys whose greatest skill is picking up women, they create the young generation’s modern-day look at their parents’ world. Between the so called golden kids and their parents, i.e., the daffodils and tough guys, the atmosphere is naturally thick and sparks fly, creating room for a windstorm of humorous situations. Through a host of funny situations, through a host of life experiences, we reach the conclusion: What we didn’t manage to do in 25 years, we won’t do now.
