This sad comedy unfolds over a weekend at a country cottage, where two former classmates and classical musicians reunite after ten years. Instead of the traditional confrontation of two opposing approaches to life, Passer delivers a bittersweet mosaic imbued with subtle melancholy at the passing of time and dashed dreams. This dramatic comedy in which nothing very much happens – many times over – is founded on relationships, moods and details. Passer worked with Miloš Forman as a scriptwriter (on all of his Czech films) and directed only Intimate Lighting in his country, before emigrating to the US.
