A psychological movie based on a true story. Martina is a politician who is both financially and socially more successful than her husband. Karel has long wanted a divorce but Martina refuses, saying it would hurt her career. So Karel asks friend Ota to seduce Martina while Karel records her infidelity on video. This, he assumes, will make it easy to force his wife to divorce him. Instead it releases a whirlwind of lies, intrigue, hypocrisy, and manipulation-all spiced with a generous dose of humor. A lie which becomes true must eventually again become a lie in order for the protagonists to get on with their lives. Each tries to hurt the others but in the end they hurt themselves.

The acting was quite good, but the screenplay fell short. Everything related to the surveillance by the BIS, including Ivana Chýlková's reaction, seemed extremely amateurishly presented to me. Overall, I see it as a slightly above-average TV movie, but it was shown in movie theaters.

The first time I saw the film, I wasn't really impressed. It was even worse watching it again today. Apparently, not even a great cast could save such a poor screenplay. The whole time it was kind of limping along, only to become quadriplegic in the end. One star for Ivan Trojan, who really made an effort to make the film watchable, and for Ivana Chýlková, who will always be on my good side.
