After nine years, director Irena Pavlásková continued the theme she began with debut The Time of Servants. She returned to the character of the weakling Milan (Karel Roden), a man completely under the thumb of his manipulative wife Dana (Ivana Chylková). In a fit of spite Milan finds himself in a psychiatric hospital and soon after enters INTO a complex relationship with the doctor who is trying to help him return to normal life.

Not even the biggest Czech film stars could have saved this film. They would simply have no chance to do so. Irena Pavlásková wrote a terrible screenplay, which she then directed in a similar spirit. Such terrible dialogue would be hard to find elsewhere. The post-synchronization was something terrible, and I really struggled to watch it until the end. And if that wasn’t bad enough, there were some ostentatious attempts at humor, for which prison sentences should be imposed. What an awful experience.
