It’s a character-driven piece where the performances, especially by Iva Janžurová, bring an authentic warmth and humor to the screen. The atmosphere is a blend of light-hearted comedy and poignant moments, making it a reflective yet entertaining watch. It’s not flashy, but it speaks to the intricacies of human relationships and the absurdities of politics in a very relatable way.
