Jirka, Roman, and Ivan have been friends since school. Today they are about 35 and, although they went into different fields, their friendship has lasted. They are married (Jirka’s wife is named Vanda, Roman’s is Anna and Ivan’s is Johanka), each is working on his career, and they are doing well. Jirka is a gallery owner, Roman a doctor, and Ivan a diplomat. Written and directed by the same team that crafted “BEAUTY IN TROUBLE”.
