Plot

Ondřej (Jiří Macháček), a timid and reserved man, is in a monotonous marriage with Alice (Petra Hřebíčková). On the contrary, his promiscuous father-in-law Rudolf (Bolek Polívka) who lives next door has a happy marriage of 35 years with Marta (Simona Stašová). As Ondřej's marriage gets increasingly boring, Rudolf encourages Ondřej to imitate him to save his marriage. Ondřej rejects it but he changes his mind after he meets Šarlota (Vica Kerekes), a new date of Rudolf.

Reception

Kamil Fila said that, "It is difficult to say when the trend began in Czech cinema with the stream of sexual innuendos replacing a coherent plot, but Men in Hope represents its peak so far."[4] Other critics praised the films and Kerekes's performance.[5]
