Маме Бавора ночью снится яркий сон, и она записывает привидившиеся во сне числа в лотерейный билет. Коллега Вацлава, хозяин дома Фердинанд Эбр, очень переживает по поводу больших расходов своей семьи, загнавших его в долги. Госпожа Лакмус, ловко манипулирует адвокатом Лукота, чтобы тот женился на её дочери Кларке.

A Touch of a Butterfly
Dobrý voják Švejk
Karel Steklý
Rudolf Hrušínský, Eva Svobodová
Good-natured and garrulous, Švejk becomes the Austrian army's most loyal Czech soldier when he is called up on the outbreak of World War I -- although his bumbling attempts to get to the front serve only to prevent him from reaching it. Playing cards and getting drunk, he uses all his cunning and genial subterfuge to deal with the police, clergy, and officers who chivy him toward battle.
The Good Soldier Švejk
Poslušně hlásím
Karel Steklý
Rudolf Hrušínský, Svatopluk Beneš
A comedy based on the novel of Jaroslav Hašek's The Good Soldier Svejk happens during the World War I. I Dutifully Report: In the introduction to the second part of the film adaptation of Hašek's novel The Good Soldier Švějk presents his main character Josef Švejk. With the distinctive traditional Czech cartoon character of a soldier Svejk, this time you meet on the way to the front and eventually right in the firing line. You can look at his famous train events, and also probably the most famous episode of the novel, Švejk's Budějovice anabasis. Don't miss the scene with the secretly bought cognac, the episode with Svejk as a fake Russian prisoner of war, including the court scene, and the scene in which lieutenant Dub is caught in a brothel. Despite the criticism, Steklý's adaptation is undoubtedly the most famous and memorable at present.
