He’s got an eye-catching assistant who is ready and willing to cuddle his frayed nerves whenever necessary. But he’s also got Sylvia on his neck: a pert, scatterbrained sister who forgets that a toss in the hay may just be worth a wedding ring. Things take a turn for the better – or worse? – when he discovers he possesses extra - let’s say, supernatural – powers that enable him to see into the future, hear music by rubbing his finger over a CD, and God knows what. The problem? Peter can’t control anything any more like he used to – neither his magic act, nor his love life, nor his sister’s latest erotic fantasy. close

Inspiration of scientific progress, belief in the fact that science is able to give final, ultimatum-objective answers to human questions, led in the XX century to horrific humanitarian consequences: from the Russian socialist revolution to the Nazi death camps, from the tragedy of the pre-war and Hibsp. The authors of the Czech film turn to the most terrible example of eugenics, the pseudo-scientific theory of the possibility of improving the human race with the help of selection, which was considered the biological basis of National Socialism, but was until the end of the Second World War recognized and popular is far from popular only in Nazi Germany. The cold persuasiveness of numbers and graphics, the indisputability of which turned out to be so, is easy to believe, the main monster of this fictional horror film. It is difficult to imagine a better reminder how dangerous any blind faith is, even if it is a belief in science. close

NON PLUS ULTRAS is a comedy with a social subtext. It takes a satirical look at a short stretch in the life of five "fans" of one Prague football club who belong to the hardcore supporters - ultras or hooligans. The gang members' lives revolve around football. They revere their "world-famous" English counterparts and uncritically take them as their role models. The undeclared leader of the gang is Bejcak (played by David Novotny), a charismatic young man of around 30 years old with natural authority. He is not stupid; he likes to use foreign words, but always in a slightly unsuitable context. The oldest member of the gang is the lonely forty-year-old Tycka (Vladimir Dlouhy), whom Bejcak took under the gang's wing. Tycka is much older than the others. The stuttering youth Pejsek (Karel Zima) is a fanatic lover of all things "English". He is seconded by the none-too-bright Potapec (Michal Novotny) and the agile, wiry Vocko (Matej Hadek), who is constantly devising new loutish exploits. close
