A quarter century after the release of the original film, this sequel brings us a drama about platonic love, life retrospective and memories. Former schoolmates meet again in the mountains and it turns out they have not changed much. Even though so many years have passed, we can still see the souls of boys and girls we know from the teenage comedy Snowdrops and Aces; kids who participated in that legendary skiing course. Its nostalgic humour gives the film a bitter-sweet touch. Thawing Out follows the lives of the main heroes during a period of great changes. How did they manage to escape the traps and what scars have they suffered? Where did they want to go, how far have they got and what is still in front of them?

The Jester's Tale
Na kolejích čeká vrah
Josef Mach
Jiří Sovák, Radoslav Brzobohatý
An escort composed of three people transports a huge amount of new one-hundred crown banknotes in a special railway car. At the 196th kilometer, a village girl is waiting at the railway crossing and spots two men removing some packages from the track. The scene is immediately followed by the report of a gun and the unwanted witness is shot dead. Soon afterwards, on the 201st kilometer, the train explodes. Only one of the escorts Lenk (Radoslav Brzobohatý) survives the explosion, taken to hospital with serious injuries. Criminologist Major Kalas (Jirí Sovák) and the very young Second Lieutenant Karlícek (Jaromír Hanzlík) patiently gather facts, leads and testimonies.

Действие фильма происходит в течение одного автобусного рейса. Все участники этого путешествия - случайные попутчики. Они никогда не знали друг друга. Автобус Прага - Карловы Вары отправляется с конечной остановки в 13:30. Его пассажиры разные люди: молодая девушка, легкомысленная и обаятельная, дама с собачкой — олицетворение мещанства, пунктуальный чиновник, твердо верящий в превосходство Запада и старательно не замечающий успехов социалистического строительства, кинорежиссер, который часто уносится в мечтах далеко от реальной действительности, придумывая сюжет своего будущего фильма. Едут в автобусе и молодые люди, любители легкой музыки, едут пожилые супруги и другие пассажиры. Несколько дорожных приключений, остроумные шутки, веселая музыка делают комедию одним из тех фильмов, которые всегда нравятся зрителям.
