"What is youth? A dream What is love? The dream's content"

~ Søren Kierkegaard

Okay. Three. Two. One. Go!

Run, run, run, run! Come on!

Jesus' Run has just begun. The rules are clear.

Twelve stations of the Cross, twelve beers.

Boys drink large beers, girls small ones. God be with you.

The fastest wins, but who throws up, gets another penalty minute.

Each can is to be checked.

When it's not empty, it's also a penalty minute.

So watch out! Drink your share to the bottom like Jesus.

I've won!

No, no, no, no, wait. You have a penalty minute.

You can do it. Come on! Come on! Down it!

Come on, you can do it!

And we have a winner!

Ellie! Ellie! Ellie!

There were about thirty of them, maybe even more.

However, we are certain only about...

- About Sobotka. - Sobotka and his class.

When the police officers requested to see their IDs,

the students dismantled their front wheels and ran away.

I know that many of the senior students are 18 and older,

but this kind of behavior reflects badly on the entire school.

Not to mention, there must've been minors among them.

Do we know that for sure?

Have a little run!

You'll be in charge of the warm-up.

- Why me again? - Because it suits you best. Shake a leg!

- Girls, let's go. - No need.

Good. Space yourself out.

Stand up.

The Czech song

Resounds in glory

In the Lord's temple

...and it is important to understand the context.

And when you understand the context,

you will also remember the events.

History always follows some kind of logic,

it has cause and effect, and...

It was technological progress that made it possible--

- Excuse me? - Yes?

Haven't we been discussing Churchill?

Well, yes, yes.

Churchill is also just... a child of his time.

At the beginning of his military career,

the most powerful means of transport was the horse.

And is this related to the WWI or WWII?

Well, WWI, WWI.

That's why the industrialization.

We don't even know what we're discussing.

How are we supposed to enjoy it, when even you don't enjoy it yourself?

Are you supposed to be elsewhere?

Yeah. Anywhere else.

Thank you. See you tomorrow.

Martina, excuse me.

- Do you have a moment? - Yeah, yeah.

You teach History to senior students, right?

Yup.

Their parents would like to speak with you. Right now.

- Oh. - Are you available?

Yeah, and do we know what it's about?

Just talk to them.

I always say that most issues are misunderstandings.

All it takes is to talk.

Don't worry. I'll be there with you.

I see.

- Okay? - Yeah.

- Hello. - Hello.

Let us begin.

Well...

I wasn't expecting so many of you.

All who had time are here.

Okay.

I'll open it.

My daughter is graduating in History,

she has a straight A with you,

and she's just taken a mock university test

and got less than 50%.

Well, I can't do the learning for her, can I?

Your teaching is completely useless for our children.

- Do you get it? - Exactly.

Mrs. Teacher, I hate to say that,

but this is about our future.

I'm sorry, but your lessons...

We all had better read something on Wikipedia.

Maybe it's because you can focus only on your smartphones or Wikipedia.

You can't be serious.

Please, calm down. Okay? Calm down.

Like, seriously? There are no issues in other subjects.

I say, let's stick to the facts. High emotions won't help the situation.

All right then.

I'll give it some thought.

And it may lead to a change of teacher.

Let's not rush things, okay?

We'll think it through.

There you are!

What did you want to talk about?

Heading out?

And you?

I'm working nights all week. I told you.

It's Nikol's birthday.

I told you that, too.

But I won't stay long.

I'll go by car.

Okay.

Pavel?

Yup?

What's wrong with us?

Is that what you wanted to talk about?

I feel like you're avoiding me.

I told you, another person resigned.

I'm a chief doctor. I can't be absent, when I have only two doctors left.

And when you happen to be at home, you're always in the garden.

Then let's let it go to waste after years of hard work.

Shame you don't mean the two of us.

I have to get going. Bye.

Hi.

Come on in.

I'm almost done.

There.

- That's nice. - Is it?

Show me the look.

Wait.

- Look at you! - Yeah?

Can we go now?

Jeez, where are you rushing to?

Nikol will be late anyway.

You have a nice dress. Where did you get it?

I bought it when I still believed

that Pepa would take me places, you know?

How is Pepa doing?

I've no idea.

Dad is no longer here.

I thought things would change. Dream on!

There.

- Care for some? - Vlasta, I'm driving.

Jesus!

Why are you actually drinking, we're off to a party.

You know it. It takes time before we're attended to,

before it's served...

And Nikol will come late.

I still need to "potty" Paw.

Let him out to pee?

Yeah.

There.

He needs a little time.

We're a bit slower now.

Right?

You have time.

The less time we have, the less pressure we feel.

Right?

What a charming place, right?

- I can't believe my eyes. - Good evening.

Finally.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

Good evening, welcome to Belvedere.

May I offer the ladies some bubbly to start with?

Sure, we're celebrating a birthday.

And I'll ask you for a sparkling Mattoni.

I'm driving.

And I also have to finish some stuff for school.

The rest of us will have bubbles.

In that case, I have a real specialty for you,

vintage sparkling wine from pure Chardonnay from Sonberk,

made using the traditional champagne method.

It's truly exceptional.

Only 1,500 bottles were produced.

That sounds great.

I'm sorry, but Mattoni is gone.

Oh.

Could that be a sign?

I was joking.

Sorry, are you from Slovakia?

Yes.

Not me.

But she would like to be.

Then if you don't mind, can I speak Slovak?

You must! I love Slovak.

The entire pressing and secondary fermentation process

followed the traditional Champagne method.

So...

- To Nikol. - To Nikol.

- Unbelievable. - Excellent.

To your health, ladies.

One Norwegian psychiatrist came up with a hypothesis...

Listen up, it's real.

He came up with a hypothesis,

that a person is born with an innate deficiency

of 0.5‰ of alcohol.

- You mean, like, we lack it? - Yes.

Like 0.5% is exactly the level at which we function best.

We are funnier, more entertaining, more relaxed, more creative.

It increases libido...

That seems to be the cure for everything.

We know you've been summoned by parents today.

I don't know what you've heard, but...

Maybe they just don't enjoy the way you teach, that's all.

It's hard to get respect from senior students.

They're usually lazy like us,

plus, they have a sleep deficit.

Hear, hear! And hormones...

puberty...

No, they're not lazy.

They're not interested in anything. That's the problem.

Ladies, as the first amuse-bouche we'd like to offer you

an exclusive Czech sturgeon caviar.

It is produced at the University of Ceské Budejovice,

using a patented technology,

in which caviar is obtained from living fish.

We usually serve it with vodka, but at this moment, ladies,

I would recommend something uniquely Slovak.

Sheep milk?

Something better.

HOMELAND juniper brandy.

Oh, dear.

Juniper brandy?

The most beautiful Slovak word I have ever heard.

- Nope. - I mean, right after Homeland.

You know what? We only live once.

Good choice, madam.

I'll have one, too.

So, to Nikol!

- To us! - And to you!

- To us. Cheers! - Cheers, sweetie!

- I have three kids. - Really? Three kids?

For three kids, two are enough.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Girls, it was fabulous.

That was the best meal I've ever had.

Was that in Czechoslovak?

Fuck!

And when I start mixing Hungarian, I know I must stop drinking.

- The wine is also excellent. - Right?

Also Sonberk, but it's already empty.

Ladies?

The only red wine from this winery,

from the vineyard with the longest sun exposure.

Who will be tasting?

Martina.

Yes, yes.

- It's good. - Ladies, enjoy your meal.

Yes, thank you.

Girls, I'm full.

How do you manage to drink so much?

Mati...

What is it, Mati?

What's the matter?

It's not just about school.

Pavel is constantly at work.

When he's not at work, he's in the garden.

My children don't need me anymore.

I'm ruining students' future.

Martina, all relationships go through tough times.

Trust me on this. You'll be fine.

But he's constantly at work,

always working nights, you know...

Do you think that...

he's seeing someone?

When I came to the school, there was talk...

of Martina becoming the headmistress.

Not only headmistress, but she used to be a dancer.

That's something.

Really?

What dancer? In a bar?

No, no, no.

She used to compete.

- Really? - Yeah.

What dance was it?

Jazz, right?

Jazz ballet.

Jazz ballet? What is that?

- Don't know. What is it? - Show us a bit.

No, no. I can't pull that off anymore.

Come on, I remember it.

Like this. I remember something in this fashion.

Vlasta, I love you.

More.

You're much better at it than me.

No, you were amazing.

You were amazing.

And everyone was crazy about you.

She had her pick.

To us. The best girls.

- To us. - To us.

Cheers!

- From now on, only nicely. - Yes.

Let's head home.

I'll call a taxi.

Yeah, call it.

Call, call, call.

If you'd like to, I will take you to Sonberk.

Good. Find me, then.

Enough, that's enough.

Hey, no one can see us here.

- Dance for them. - No.

Dance. Why not? You've just danced.

Did you give him your number?

Slovak and married. Are you nuts?

You've almost got it!

Is it that jazz ballet?

- Thank you, thank you. - Bravo!

But we're applauding Vlasta.

What?

Nothing special.

This is a typical example of tactical retreat,

as the foundation for an effective offensive.

- What? - I don't know.

Like, don't you understand it?

Wait.

Petra, you don't have to pay it, it's Uber.

Sure, I know.

Has something happened there?

With a taxi driver?

- Come on! - Hang on!

Come on, come on.

Wait, wait, wait! Here. This way.

The butt-naked beach?

The buff zone!

Buffs in the buff!

Join us!

No, no.

- Come on. - Nope.

Is it possible that a P.E. teacher can't swim?

Jesus, true.

She managed to keep it a life-long secret...

And all it takes is one break-in at a natural landmark--

Wait, what do you mean, break-in?

And why do you think we climbed over that fence?

- Are we here illegally? - Uh-huh.

Morning, morning, a maid woke up,

first things first, she scratched her butt.

The air is cold as witch's tit,

still, she needs to take a shit.

Daughter, dear, steer clear from gate,

water goblin's pecker's straight.

I had a bad dream the other day,

he stuck it out at water bay.

Girls, I guess having kids is not in the cards for me.

You still have plenty of time.

I don't have kids either and I'm doing just fine.

- And did you want them? - Of course I did.

I didn't have it on my mind.

I figured it would come along naturally, you know.

And it just, kind of...

Would you have done anything differently?

Probably everything.

But I would've remained a teacher.

So would I.

One of the options is that I'll be replaced in the senior class.

Don't be silly! It's impossible.

Nikol, right? You won't allow that, will you?

If I had a say in it, of course not.

Try to sort it out somehow.

Hi, Mum.

- Hey! - Hey!

- Bye. - Bye, Dad.

- Later. - What "later"? A kiss, no?

Now "later". Get going!

Aren't you going to work?

Pavel?

Am I boring?

No, tell me.

Am I boring?

Well, if you want to know,

you are no longer the Martina I used to know.

And how was I?

I'm running on empty. I'm off to bed.

See you later.

Wasn't she supposed to be replaced?

She probably went for a coffee with the headmaster.

Can we start?

Hello? Can we start?

So...

I went through the syllabus,

we discussed the consequences of indistrializ--

industrialization...

You see, if I can do it, so can you.

We discussed what industrial development caused

in relation to social tensions

and deepening inequalities.

Could someone repeat that for us?

Jarda, for example? Huh?

I, kind of...

I'm not really in the mood to improvise, Mrs. Teacher.

Well, that's a shame.

Let's repeat it together, then.

The rapid development of industry caused, but also enabled,

the rise of the working class, the middle class of merchants and owners,

who no longer lived in the countryside, but in towns and cities.

Is it clear?

Jarda, weren't you supposed to be somewhere?

- Probably not, Mrs. Teacher. - Are you staying with us?

- Glad to hear it. - I will, I will.

What? Did you forget anything?

Nikol, I can't drive.

And in the morning you could?

I drank after I had arrived.

I added vodka to my coffee.

You can't be serious.

And?

Pretty good.

I would do it again.

Jump in!

Yes, honey? Did you forget what you need to buy?

Hey, no.

I'm just calling to say I'm taking Martina home.

Why? Did something happen?

Her car's broken down, I'll explain it to you.

Just don't wait for me, please.

Okay, but be home early. The kids are missing you.

Love you all. And what should I buy?

I'll send you a text.

Thank you. Bye, bye.

It's nice how you like each other. One can tell.

Call the girls.

We need to go through this.

No, I just wanted to try it out.

No, Martina, this has potential.

I was still under the influence in the morning.

I had no idea what I was doing.

Stop it.

Hi, Nikol. What's up?

Hi, Vlasta.

I'm driving Martina to your place. We'll be there shortly.

Yeah? Okay. And is everything all right?

No. Nikol has gone mad.

I haven't gone mad,

just Martina has finally found the courage to face life head on.

Yesterday hasn't been over yet.

Hey!

Hey.

I don't know what's going on, but I like it.

Here you go.

I'd rather have coffee.

What did you mean?

"Yesterday hasn't been over yet"?

Martina...

was under the influence.

Well, we all were.

But she kept drinking.

Like since morning?

Well, I had this much of vodka in a pint of coffee

and I drank it all morning.

How did it go?

No one left the classroom,

they had no stupid comments,

they actually listened to me.

I said it had potential.

Would you like to try it?

How should we call it?

"Experimental study of..."

What was his name?

Finn Skårderud.

You said he was Norwegian.

Yes, he is.

But now you said he was a Finn.

It's his name. Finn.

You mean, the Norwegian guy is called Finn?

So...

"An experimental study of a Norwegian, Finn Skårderud's hypothesis

according to which a person is born with a deficit of 0.05% of BAC."

We should describe this method.

Let's get to 0.05% and we'll see.

So, "The experiment

will be performed daily."

Wait, but...

I can't drink on weekends.

Well, we shouldn't be under the influence all the time.

To keep some distance.

But where is the best place to test it?

Only at school.

Exactly, just like Martina today.

We will drink only during working hours.

So... "The method:

Maintaining blood alcohol levels

to document the psychological, verbal,

motor, and rhetorical effects

and to study increased social and professional performance."

That's complicated.

What was that ending?

"To study increased social and professional performance."

Yeah, that's good.

God. Not again!

Rebeka, you're three already.

How many times have I told you that when you need to pee,

you've got to wake up?

Daddy, I peed myself.

Don't shout, Rebeka, you'll wake everyone up.

Come, I'll take off your jammies. Come on.

I slept for three hours. That's more than yesterday.

Bitcoin has gone crazy, cryptos are freaking out.

What's happened?

I've peed myself.

Yeah, when will this end, huh?

I don't know.

Come on, we'll change your jammies.

There, there.

I can feel how it's getting me back on my feet.

Yeah.

- Are you measuring it? - No.

But the school should have a blood alcohol tester, right?

That's true.

We're conducting research during working hours.

The employer has an obligation to provide us with supplies.

Here's mine.

Everyone has their own snack.

Go measure it.

Science is not a mess.

So?

I have a bit more, but I'll burn it off with exercise.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

Geez, I've got a training session.

Bye. Go, go, go!

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

- Hi, Peter. - Excuse me?

- Oh, hi. - See you.

What was that?

Fuck, what a blunder!

I think he'd go for it.

You think?

Sure. Don't be silly.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Jarda, what are you browsing? OnlyFans?

N-No.

Do you want to share it with everyone else?

I guess not.

Fine, then put it away.

- Okay, class. I have one test for you. - No!

Yup, because I want to know how you're doing.

And pay close attention, because it covers everything

we've discussed since the beginning of the school year.

So, Ellie,

there are elections with three candidates,

and you are to choose who you would vote for.

Okay? All right.

The first candidate:

is partially paralyzed due to polio,

has hypertension,

anemia, and suffers from a number of serious illnesses.

He lies when it suits him.

He consults astrologers on his politics,

he cheats on his wife,

constantly smokes and drinks too many Martinis.

That is candidate number one.

Candidate number two

is obese and has already lost three elections.

He suffered from depression and had two heart attacks.

He constantly smokes, too,

and every evening drinks bottles of champagne,

port wine, whiskey and cognac.

And before going to bed, he takes two sleeping pills.

The third candidate is a decorated war hero.

He loves animals, treats women with respect,

occasionally enjoys a small beer,

and never, ever smokes.

So?

Who would you vote for?

The third one.

Okay.

What about you. Class?

The third one.

Well, congratulations.

You just haven't voted

for Roosevelt.

Neither for...

Churchill.

But you have voted

for this gentleman.

Wow!

What?

You may find it amusing,

but there's a point to it, I hope, you'll get one day.

The world is not...

what you expect it to be.

The Czech song

Resounds in glory

In the Lord's temple

Stop! Stop!

That doesn't sound like a celebration of the nation.

Klára, you sing beautifully. You really do.

But no one else can be heard, you know?

It's not about being heard,

but to hear,

listen to others.

Take each other's hands,

close your eyes,

relax.

Breathe in

and breathe out.

There.

Perceive one another.

Open your ears

and let yourself be carried away.

One, two, three. And...

The Czech song

Resounds in glory

In the Lord's temple

When it is sung

Where the Spirit

Free from earthly bounds

On the wings of piety

It soars to heights

On the wings of piety, it soars to heights

Where the Spirit on the wings of piety

Soars to heights

The Czech song

Resounds in glory

When it is sung

By holy voices

When it is sung

By holy voices

What a wretch must I be, if I'm flirting with a priest?

Define a "wretch".

A desperate, naïve, pathetic cunt.

Fucking stupid. That's a wretch.

Where am I on that scale with the headmaster?

Listen.

Best teaching experience ever!

Same for me! Suddenly I'm being so spontaneous!

Do you take notes, as you go?

Especially now. First impressions are essential.

When did you last jot down your first impressions?

They haven't been worth it yet.

Where is Vlasta?

Vlasta is boozing while kids are snoozing.

Okay, enough. A quick break.

Let's play a game.

Coach, I forgot my water. Can I have a drink from yours?

Jitka, please, share your bottle with Ema.

And why me?

It's not my fault that she left her bottle at home.

If you want to play the next game,

be so kind and let Ema take a sip.

Take a sip, then.

Jitka?

Football is a team game,

you know?

You have to stick together. A team spirit.

You have to help one another. Okay?

If the team doesn't stick together, it can't win.

Okay? Clear? Good. This applies to everyone.

Hey, divide yourselves into two teams.

- Do the others treat you like that, too? - Yup.

You'll stay here with me for a moment, will you?

Sometimes you learn more by watching than by running around the field, okay?

We haven't had dinner together like this for ages, huh?

Without children.

Where are they, actually?

They told you.

They're studying the sky in the observatory.

Why don't we go camping anymore?

You haven't missed it much for eight years.

I'd be quite happy to go.

Are you in?

To our island.

This may be the last time with the kids.

Pavel, talk to me.

What should I say?

I don't know.

For example, the truth?

What truth?

What is wrong with us?

Nothing, I guess.

We just don't have enough time for each other.

That's all.

Jesus.

What is it?

It's not just this one.

That's awful.

Vlasta...

Well...

We have to report it to the headmaster.

Don't be silly.

Just promise me you'll cut it out.

Mainly for your own sake, Vlasta.

Please, what are you doing? I could never handle this in my life.

Just take the bottles out.

We're off to the headmaster!

Excuse me, I know the bell's about to go,

but this is really a matter of urgency.

In the school building, alcohol has been found.

We all know that our students party sometimes,

but this is something else.

Has anyone here suspected

that students were under the influence in class?

Of course, this also applies to the school employees

and the teaching staff.

For my part, I must say that it never occurred to me

that something like this could happen.

Maybe it's just a joke.

We don't even know how long the bottles had been there.

That's true.

What kind of alcohol was it exactly?

- Don't be silly! - Excuse me?

I'm just thinking out loud.

The type of alcohol can also give us some clues.

Never mind.

Try to pay more attention to the students.

Maybe some of them need our help.

Girls, the headmaster wanted to test everyone's BAC.

I'm really sorry,

but nobody had ever stepped into the tool shed before.

The best time to quit.

The worst time.

What?

Girls, I haven't felt this good in a long time,

and it's great even when I'm sober.

Perhaps, I would go even harder.

0.5% was just a hypothesis.

Besides, I don't know if we all react the same

to the same level.

I mean... I always have to take one more sip

before I go into class, and then I'm fine.

That's true.

Booze has just been found at school.

And what do we do?

We go even harder.

But I swear,

from now on, everything will be here

in my bag. Zipped.

Nikol, it was you who told us what had been created under the influence.

And knowing my parents, I certainly was.

"Skårderud's experiment, Part II: The Individual BAC."

"Adjustments in daily alcohol intake

based on individual responses to a specific amount,

to optimize professional and social performance,

while also gathering evidence

of its psychological and communication effects."

"Wine from Orešany."

"Of course, it was delicious."

"How dare you take it from me in the Slovak territory?"

"HE IS DRUNK"

"I'm glad the election period is over

and I don't have to see this lunatic anymore."

- Oh, man, are you all right? - Yeah.

All good, leave it to me. All good.

Are you feeling dizzy?

That dizziness again.

- My nose is bleeding. - Yeah.

Are you sure you can do it?

Yeah, it's nothing.

Except that you crashed into a pillar.

It's never happened to me before.

Well, as far as I remember, to no one here.

Look,

alcohol gave me more than it took.

Do you know who said that?

One obese racist?

He defeated Hitler. It's enough.

I have a little quiz for you.

I would like to know,

if you know what you have in common, almost all of you,

with these three gentlemen.

So...

I'd rather not ask if you know them.

Churchill, Hemingway, and general Grant.

So?

No one?

Booze.

Those gentlemen were boozing,

and you do the same.

And every weekend.

And a lot, right? Am I right?

Jarda,

you're definitely a party guy, aren't you?

Jarda is a legend!

So how much do you drink in a week, legend?

I don't know. Why?

No worries, everything we say here stays only among us.

Well, it depends on what's being drunk.

WHO recommends three units of alcohol per day for men,

two for women...

That's 21 units of alcohol per week for men

and 14 for women.

What is that unit?

A small beer, 100 ml of wine. Less than one shot.

- So, like, three small beers a day? - Uh-huh.

I have three large ones only to start with.

So how often?

Well, on Friday, Saturday.

But sometimes

I start with some unit already on Thursday.

Yeah, but then there's a football match, right?

So also Wednesday.

So how many units of alcohol per week?

Well...

Normally about ten on Friday, I'd say.

Fifteen and...

And weekly around...

40?

Okay.

You say 40.

40 Jardas.

Ellie, what are the rules of Stations of the Cross Run?

There are some rules, I suppose.

Well, you run along the Christ's twelve stops

and at each station, one must down a can of beer.

Which is one unit.

And whoever downs all twelve beers first, wins.

But they can't have any penalty minutes, right?

And what do you get penalty minutes for?

For throwing up

and for an unfinished ale, right?

And the last question...

who of you has already completed Stations of the Cross Run?

Ah!

All of you.

Who would have thought?

Why am I asking this?

Because here we have Churchill, who wrote 37 books in 58 volumes,

painted over 500 paintings, won the Nobel Prize for Literature,

won World War II as one of the best leaders in history,

and he also said, "I never drink...

before breakfast."

So when you're throwing up in the bushes again

during your Stations of the Cross Run,

you don't have to feel completely alone,

'cause you're in pretty good company.

But remember, booze can help you survive,

but it can also completely destroy you.

Like it destroyed Hemingway.

Grant, Roosevelt, uncle Churchill

would have kicked your ass at this run.

The question remains, however,

who of you young, ambitious senior students

will ultimately fail at final exams like Hemingway,

or earn a victory like Churchill.

Mrs. Teacher?

I just wanted to tell you that I'm glad you didn't leave.

Thank you.

But that won't get you through your final exams.

Don't forget.

Martina: "Camping this weekend?"

Pavel: "I didn't count on this. I'm on duty."

Martina: "Can't you take a day off?"

What's your level?

Just below one.

I know.

You keep asking if what we teach you will be ever useful.

I admit,

there's certainly a lot that will be of no use.

The problem is, it will be different for everyone.

That's why we have to teach everything to everyone.

But today we're going to learn something

that will come in handy for every one of you.

I call it "The Equation of Life".

It looks scary, I know, but don't worry.

Imagine the beginning of creation.

One cell...

divides into two,

then each of them again in two,

and those again in two.

How many cells will there be, Roman?

Eight.

- Cool. - Excellent.

How many will there be after the tenth division?

After the hundredth?

The thousandth?

That's exactly what this equation is about.

We call it a geometric sequence.

For example,

spread of a virus is also a geometric sequence.

Or...

debts and interest.

A pandemic is something you've already experienced

and you cannot avoid debt.

It's good to understand

how something as harmless as interest can affect your loan.

Sub! Sub!

Wait! Substitution!

Ema! Ema! Ema!

Goal!

I saved the ball!

We're coming!

Girls!

The taxi is here!

Wait, that's the same taxi we...

we took from your party.

Petra!

I'm here.

The taxi driver you were hitting on is here.

Are you enjoying this?

Wait.

- Petra? - Yeah?

Do you like such...

Do you like such types?

A taxi driver is a latent truck driver. Never!

We're coming!

He whistles and she comes running.

She comes running.

- Hello. - Come on, miss.

We need to get going.

When I'm on standby, I don't make money.

- That's true. - Yup.

Girls!

Would you be so kind and move your asses?

Mr. Taxi Driver here...

when he's on standby, he doesn't drive.

I'm coming.

Are you here on holiday or...

It's more of a study stay.

- Good evening. - Evening.

- Hello. - Sorry, but you've held us up a bit.

I held you up?

- Nikol! - Excuse me, ladies!

Wait a second!

The girls are trying to decide

if taxi drivers are sexy, or not.

They are definitely sexier than your truck drivers.

You know, a taxi driver has his own secrets.

Okay.

I think we can set off now.

Well, I think so too.

That surprised me.

And what secrets do you keep?

Don't want to know, girls.

For example, our Nikol has one secret...

We can park it over there.

Okay.

Radek, do you remember that little castle?

Sure, a terrifying shack.

Why terrifying? It looks nice.

Now it does. But for long it was just a ruin.

A haunted ruin.

Likely story!

You're making that up, aren't you?

Well, interesting things were going around.

Here, for example...

Up there, where it's flat.

Yeah.

How about a competition to see who sets up the tent first?

I'm in.

They don't stand a chance, look at them.

I'll bet money on it.

- Let's go. - Okay.

What's this for?

Let's show those tools how it is done.

Three, two, one... Go!

Wait, wait.

- Now? - Yeah, yeah.

- No! - Shit! Wait.

- We've won. - We've won.

This doesn't meet the competition's parameters.

That's a completely different category you're competing in.

- Give me the money! - This is a tent. That is a nonsense.

A win is a win.

Radek, when was the last time you were out in nature?

I don't know.

Can you hear that chirping?

It might be a cicada.

Did you know there is a species that occurs only in our country?

The vineyard cicada.

And I'll be eaten by local vermin.

Mum, could I get some more insect repellent, please?

I've already sprayed you three times.

We must have underestimated something,

when our children are so incompatible with nature.

Did you know that a poisonous spider lives here?

No. And nobody cares.

And a poisonous snake?

A poisonous salamander?

You are such an idiot. I'm going to bed.

In case I'm killed at night, I loved you.

Sometimes.

Wait.

I have a video of that spider. You have to see it.

Don't leave it open. Mum, spray it more.

Do you think it's too late to try to fix them?

It's two against two.

There is a chance.

And they are outmatched.

Can I scoot closer?

What is it?

I missed you.

I missed you too.

Is this an exhibition or...

I guess they normally use it, although it is...

extremely clean.

- Hi! - Hi!

Hey!

Finally!

Please, what kind of kill business does your husband do?

Cryptos.

Cryptos?

Who are those crypto guys?

Cryptocurrencies, Vlasta.

I really don't know.

All good, never mind.

Can I get you something?

I wanted to discuss it with you.

Do you want to ditch it?

On the contrary.

Skårderud writes in his essay about a state of emotional outburst.

He writes that after 7 to 10 drinks,

you are either totally drained and drop dead tired, or...

you get a second wind.

And you want to test it out.

When we want our research to be thorough,

I would observe all aspects of the problem.

I was just about to tell that I quit.

Are you pregnant?

Oh, my!

You went camping.

How was it?

It was nice.

Fresh air, stars.

Right, the crisis has been averted, hasn't it?

That's why she doesn't want to drink.

It was nice and I was sober.

Okay, now...

And theoretically, what exactly did you mean?

To drink until you can't anymore?

To complete catharsis.

So, to get hammered.

We have the whole house to ourselves.

Thomas took the kids to his parents' place.

They won't be back until tomorrow afternoon.

Amazing Thomas.

Do you know Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon?

Yeah.

Of course, his book on bullfighting.

Well, but it's also a drink that he invented.

- I didn't know that. - Death in the Afternoon?

That sounds harsh.

Wanna try? I'll mix it for you.

Well, if no one wants it, I'll sacrifice myself for science.

Absinthe and champagne?

Are you kidding me?

I'm not.

Hemingway is. One. Two. Three. Four.

- To science. - To science.

Cheers!

Good luck, girls.

To science, then.

Really strong!

Well...

Well, well...

Cheers.

Chin-chin.

Damn.

It's so good.

It's good.

"Experimental study of Finn-- a Norwegian Finn Skårderud's hypothesis:

Part Three: Maximum BAC."

"An experiment designed to achieve the highest possible level of BAC

to observe emancipatory, psychological effects.

The study is conducted privately

to avoid negative mutual influences from the environment."

- This music is awful. - What?

She's my favorite singer, come on.

Show yourself!

This is music!

Not bad either.

Don't say.

Come on, show yourself.

Don't sit there!

Come, come, come. Come on! Hey!

Beautiful!

Not everything is as you'd like

Really not everything is so

A boy, a professor Once went to see the world

Why don't you want to dance?

You're being naughty, you were the best.

Not anymore, Vlasta.

That's--

Wait a second.

In real life, you must test yourself

Thomas.

- Girls! - Yeah?

- Thomas. - What?

Thomas.

Hi, love.

How are you doing?

Speak normally.

All good.

Geez, sure. Take it as done.

I'll take care of it.

Have a good time, then.

Bye-bye.

- What is it? - Some kind of hassle.

- What is it? - Trouble.

Rebeka has a fancy dress ball on Sunday.

We ordered a dress for her, but they are closed on weekends.

It's Friday, isn't it?

Yeah, we have like an hour.

Okay, then, we have time.

- Hey, I'll call a taxi. - Okay.

No, no, wait, leave it.

I'll take care of it.

I'll take care of it extremely fast.

- To the path. - No way. Not a chance.

Chapter Four...

It was somewhere here.

Unexpected interventions of life's reality.

Wait.

"Chapter Four: Unexpected interventions of life reality

in the ongoing experiment.

Confrontation of maximum intoxication..."

- Maximum what? - Intoxication!

"...with real life."

We've got it! We've got it!

- Off we go. - We've got a taxi. Let's go.

Come on. Let's go.

I'll take this with me.

I'll have a drink before the road.

- Good, right? - Let's do it.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Climb or shit letters.

We'll be right back. Will you wait for us?

I would love you to.

Seriously, ladies! Do you do anything else besides partying all the time?

We're not partying.

We're doing science.

Petra twice into the same river?

What? I just wanted him to wait for us.

Oh, yeah.

You bought that dress at a bridal shop?

She wanted to be a princess.

Wow. How come it didn't occur to me.

What?

I don't need a man for that!

Girls...

- Wait, it's closed. - Vlasta!

- It's not. - Never mind.

- Hello. - Are you home?

Yeah.

Hello. Excuse me, I need a wedding dress.

Hi, Marko, we're celebrating a little with the girls.

This one. It's not it, no.

Vlasta, Vlasta, don't be silly. They're already closed.

Girls, help.

Help, help.

And if I may ask, what are you celebrating today?

- Life. - No. We're having a hen party.

Look, girls. You do it.

What about this one? You're not saying anything!

I prefer the first dress.

The first one? Vlasta, Vlasta...

Do you know how much that dress costs?

Yes, I don't know, but you know what?

You don't buy a wedding dress every day.

Vlasta, I love you.

Don't cry, sweetie. It's still early for that. Not yet.

Is that dress insured?

Yes, I'm there. Thank you.

- Is she serious? - I don't know.

Vlasta is always serious.

But that means we have to...

Celebrate it!

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

What?

I told you so.

- You're not listening to me. - What an idiot!

Don't worry.

Honey.

Where are you?

Here, yeah.

Attention, please.

- Careful. - Hey!

To the wedding reception!

You're beautiful, Vlasta!

- You're beautiful. - Finally.

Nikol!

- Wait! - Forward.

Marko!

- You're the best. - Just don't forget it anywhere.

Thanks! Bye!

Wait.

Jesus!

Jesus, you are our hero.

I'm coming home in small hours

Intoxicated by fine wine

Straight lines turn into curves

The world is spinning, I'm hammered

A princess is throwing up next to me

I extend my hand and bless her

A clear message for everyone

This is what friendship is called

A thousand questions and no memories

I'm piecing together the picture

Stone by stone

Yesterday's production Slipped into blackout

Now comes the deduction: What does my conscience say?

Now it's coming back, I was at the meet-up

With my loyal crew

We're part of the union

We own a domain, so click it And see who we are

The Union of Czech Bohemians

I'm coming home in small hours

Intoxicated by fine wine

Straight lines turn into curves

The world is spinning, I'm hammered

A princess is throwing up next to me

I extend my hand and bless her

A clear message for everyone

This is what friendship is called

If your taxi driver saw you now...

Zip it!

- All good. - Sure.

- Careful, don't fall down. - I've figured it out.

- Cheers. - You want him for yourself.

Well, we could do with a taxi now.

Yes, a taxi.

That's why-- you keep talking about him.

Keep him, I don't mind.

Seriously, girls? It's because you're not drinking.

But what do you want to drink when everything is closed?

Well, an ordinary scientist solves problems,

while a top scientist prepares for them.

What?

Ta-da!

But that's not juniper brandy.

Well, but it's homeland.

I can't go on.

Then, it's time to go home.

I feel sick.

No, don't throw up yet.

Let's go.

Go find Mummy!

Mummy! Mummy! Mummy!

Where is Nikol?

Probably still asleep.

Yeah.

And what happened here?

Nikol didn't mention anything about a wedding.

Well...

I...

I forgot.

I had a hen party yesterday.

- Did you? - Yeah.

I didn't know you were getting married.

But it suits you. Congratulations.

Oh, thank you.

Nikol said that...

you were coming in the afternoon.

And so we did.

It's 2:30 p.m.

Sweet Lord!

I have to go home.

I think you all should.

Yeah, sure.

Petra, it's 2:30. We have to go home.

Where?

Hey!

Oh, man!

Hurry!

We're off.

Mummy, where is my new dress?

Hi, love.

What's the time?

Where is my new dress?

Where have you been?

With the girls.

Why didn't you tell anyone? You know what time it is?

We wanted to call the police.

I apologize.

I'm terribly sorry. I failed.

I think you owe the children an explanation.

You do too, don't you?

Me? What for?

Mum, you've been drinking a while, huh?

Yup.

And now you quit?

It depends.

It depends on what?

Go to your rooms.

I haven't had the meal yet.

Take it along.

I'm not allowed to eat in my room.

Radek, go, both of you!

May I leave it like this?

Please, can you explain to me what's going on here?

Can you explain it to me?

Ten minutes on holiday after three years?

And then nothing again, because you're never here.

You're not here, even when you are here.

What exactly am I doing?

Hiding in a shed?

Still dealing with garden work?

At least I'm doing something.

Only for yourself.

And how about your boozing? Are you doing that for the family's sake?

Are you cheating on me?

I didn't feel like you still cared about me.

Excuse me?

Should I have waited the rest of my life for something to change?

So you sorted it out somewhere else?

Get out!

Get out of here!

Nobody has to wait for me and you know it!

Get out!

You had no clue.

It absolutely didn't occur to me that he'd do something like that.

I'm so sorry.

Pavel is a total jerk!

He really messed this up.

Just as much as yours.

Well, I'm glad it ended like this.

Sure, it took me a while to process it all.

But when we finally got divorced, it was such a relief.

I'm going to have to get divorced.

This calls for a shot.

I was wondering...

isn't it time to quit?

But you can't do that to her.

Girls, if you don't want to keep drinking, I get it,

but I'll definitely have one.

Theoretically, to say goodbye to freedom

it's almost like a wedding, isn't it?

Yeah.

Follow me, then. Come on.

Dad knew he wouldn't live to see my wedding.

So he left me this.

There.

Thanks.

Sorb-tree-fruit brandy.

It's exactly as old as me.

It's the best thing I've ever drunk.

It doesn't even taste like alcohol.

Because it's not.

It's manna.

Delicious. Can I have more?

Want some too?

Hey...

You know what people say?

That the more sorb-tree-fruit brandy people drink,

the more sober they are.

New hypothesis, new experiment, girls.

To your dad, then.

You bet.

The study of a Norwegian Finn Skårderud's theory:

that a person is born with an innate deficiency of 0.5% of BAC...

ends here...

as a result of...

unforeseen negative social consequences...

and the danger of alcoholism.

Is it just coffee or...

Just that.

Is everything okay?

Good morning. May I have your attention?

Thank you.

I hate to do it, but I don't have a choice.

There are so many clues, I can't overlook them anymore.

The janitor found more alcohol bottles on the school premises.

Please let all the students know that I would be glad,

if those involved reported themselves today.

I'm willing to resolve this with a verbal warning,

if I am convinced that it was just a temporary failure.

- Otherwise-- - Jesus!

If the person concerned doesn't come forward,

I will be forced to initiate an investigation.

Hello.

Jesus.

I'm sorry. Ouch!

For Christ's sake, I just... believe it or not...

brushed against it...

My apologies, I'll cover the damages.

I'll buy a new one.

So, all in all, you know, what happens?

- Hi. - Vlasta?

- Hey, hi! - Vlasta!

Yes?

I'm sorry.

Are you under the influence of alcohol?

Well... I am...

I am...

I mean, like...

I am under the residual influence of alcohol, I would say.

But I'll cover the pot. No problem. Okay?

Jesus Christ, I have a training!

Excuse me. Okay.

Excuse me, I'm having a training session.

Vlasta, come with me. I'll explain it to you?

I'll pay for this, I will.

No problem. What are you doing?

I must change, don't be silly! I won't make it.

Paw?

P--

What's the...

I have just fed him.

Wow!

Our place is so clean and tidy.

I made you some pasta, feel free to grab some.

Great service, thank you.

Let me see.

It smells wonderful.

This literally asks for a cup of white wine.

Vlasta!

Perhaps you should take a break.

I've got it under control.

Do you get that you can't go back to school?

It's happened just once.

Vlasta...

What about my squad?

My team?

I guess I should go now.

See you next time, okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Thanks for everything.

Wait, wait.

Wait.

I want to tell you something.

That thing with Pavel...

you must sort it out.

We're getting a divorce.

This shouldn't have happened.

I wasn't the unfaithful one, Vlasta. Not me.

Do you miss him?

Tell him, then.

You don't want to end up like me, do you?

Martina and Pavel - you've always been a couple.

Say you're gonna tell him.

We'll discuss it next time, okay?

Martina and Pavel.

You belong together.

Jitka, what are you doing here?

Sorry for bothering you.

Cut the nonsense!

You're not bothering me.

I just didn't expect you.

Does Dad know you're here?

Has anything happened?

Let's go inside, I'm a bit cold.

You have the keys. You could've unlocked the door.

Only that I don't. I left them at home.

I mean, at Dad's place.

Come on.

What's happened?

Mum, I don't get it.

Dad says that nothing lasts forever. But you're my parents.

And always will be. Forever.

You're not. Suddenly you are two strangers.

Jitka...

Dad met someone new. That's all.

But we're still your parents.

Radek thinks it's your fault.

Mum, can't I stay here?

Today?

For good.

Jitka...

Look,

if I had my way...

both of you live here.

Forever.

But Dad wants you at his place, too, you know.

But this joint custody sucks!

Wouldn't you miss Dad at all?

Can I stay overnight, at least?

Of course you can.

But let Dad know, okay?

How about having a pizza?

Thank you.

This is our last lesson.

All that's left for you are the final exams.

We've covered everything, so if you listened to me,

nobody should get anything below a C.

But we're aiming for As!

You were...

really an amazing class.

And...

thank you for wanting me to be replaced before.

I hope you'll continue to have high expectations.

Good luck!

Sebastian, what are you doing here?

We're waiting for you.

I can't remember anything.

I can't handle this.

Follow me. Come on.

Listen.

I'd never do this if you weren't a really good student.

Sit down.

It's the only reason I'm breaking all the rules now.

Because you don't deserve to fail.

What do you mean?

Give me your bottle.

Hold this, please.

Have a drink.

There. Close your eyes.

And breathe.

Can you feel it?

Stress and tension are slowly easing.

Have one more.

There.

And now go there and pick a topic you'll have no trouble elaborating on.

Because we covered nothing that you wouldn't understand. Okay?

If something...

Let's go. Come on.

The question of the European Union...

I would explain best as...

Why does Europe...

I mean, the Union...

To understand the historical role of the EU

we must understand what was present at its birth.

And it was Europe shattered by two devastating wars,

where everyone who survived the rampage desired only one thing--

that it would never happen again.

So, the core idea behind the EU is peace.

When we all stick together and have the same aims,

we will be allies

and no one will dare stand against us.

I'm writing you this letter

Into autumn darkness

So you won't shed a tear

For me in the quiet night

Passing is a timid bird

Frightened by the crashing waves

Passing is a meeting

On the far end of life

Passing is only...

Only rain

Passing is only...

Only rain

Thank you for the love

I had more than enough of it

We are here for everyone

Yet, in fact, for no one

When I return my blurred eyes

To you in this letter

You've probably long forgotten

All that once mattered

Passing is only...

Only rain

Only rain

Passing is only...

Only rain

And I no longer want a thing

All the lights went down

I'm writing just one letter

To the autumn wind

I'm writing you this letter

Into autumn darkness

So you won't shed a tear

For me in the quiet night

Passing is only...

Only rain

Only rain

It falls unnoticed into the heart

Into the heart And you just say, "Oh, Lord!"

Passing is only...

Only rain

Only rain

It falls unnoticed into the heart

Into the heart And you just say, "Oh, Lord!"

Passing is only...

Only rain

It falls unnoticed into the heart

Into the heart And you just say, "Oh, Lord!"

It falls unnoticed into the heart

Into the heart And you just say, "Oh, Lord!"

Into the heart And you just say, "Oh, Lord!"

Thank you.

What were you doing in there?

I spilled the contents of my handbag.

Like a wretch.

To Vlasta.

To Vlasta.

This was her favorite.

I need to tell you something.

I think I met someone.

Don't say!

And you know him a bit.

What does he do?

He runs a business.

What business?

Personalized transport.

Personalized transport? What is that?

Maybe he organizes private space travel.

Elon Musk?

Or?

- Or? - Or...

The taxi driver!

I knew it!

You didn't. I didn't know it either.

Sometimes the two are the last to find out.

That's true.

Wait, but...

You said you didn't want a taxi driver.

He must have some cons, too.

If you must know...

So far, I've always arrived.

Look, those are our senior students.

The best teachers!

Did you hear it?

The best teachers, they say.

Pavel: "I miss you."

Join us! Join us!

Where are you going?

To our new place. Come on, come on.

Come with us, come on!

Quick! Quick!

- Thank you very much. - Sure.

- Did you see that? - What?

Me being lifted into the air.

No.

Mrs. Teacher...

Sorry.

Martina!

Martina!

Come with me.

Come on.

What was the sequence?

Vlasta would've wished for it. Come on.

What was the sequence?

Come on, show us more! Dance!

What do you want?

What was the sequence?

- You mean that... - Yeah.

Watch me.

Pavel: "I miss you so much."

We're flying up to the end of our sky

It resembles love

We're flying, our freedom is endless

It resembles...

It resembles love

We're flying up to the end of our sky

It resembles love

We're flying, our freedom is endless

It resembles...

It resembles love

Everything around us

We are everything around us

Everything around us
