Jakub, co-owner of the agency Dolce Travel, leaves Prague and takes a weekend off from work to go back to his hometown Telč and celebrate his mother’s birthday together with his family. Here he meets Ilona, an old childhood friend he hasn’t seen in many years and with whom he goes on an intense and intimate road trip through Czech Republic and Austria.

Road movies are all about the main characters and their physical and inner journey – this film is no exception. Jakub and Ilona represent two different worlds and two apparently distant parallel lines that will never touch. But this journey is the intersection between Jakub’s pragmatism and Ilona’s spiritual freedom. During the course of a weekend Jakub’s entire life is thrown into confusion and Ilona’s explosive love for the simple joys in life forces him to reevaluate his whole down-to-earth approach.

The young director proves that he mastered the topos of the road movie genre and to be at ease working with the tools at his disposal. The film succeeds in its intent to entertain and to cautiously touch on existential topics and doubts that we all deal with on an everyday basis.
