One of the most strident voices in contemporary Czech cinema, Sedlacek crafts a searing commentary on contemporary society in this critically acclaimed drama. A nouveau riche business executive goes on the run from the police, masking his escape as a family trip, claiming all the while that his chosen career, and the embezzlement that ensued, was all for the good of his family.
