From an opening montage of dog skills, including playing the piano, one enjoys an hour and a half of light entertainment that doesn’t involve vulgarity or awkwardness. It’s just that in terms of human heroes and their plots, it’s quite predictable and rare.

Dita, played sympathetically by Berenika Kohoutová, is a young woman who has had a long-time boyfriend (Igor Orozovi), so she logically wants to start a family. Instead, he gave her a series of reasons why they should break up, and on top of that, a dog that Dita never wanted.

The fact that he wanted to get rid of her in the first place and even visited the shelter was just a transparent introduction for her to fall in love with a border collie named Rapl. And since his neighbor (Štěpán Benoni) has a female of the same breed, it’s easy to see how things will turn out and what end the film is bound to lead to. Transparency doesn’t really matter, though, as people playing with dogs and spoil dogs playing with branded goods provide entertainment without which movies would be boring.

However, seasoned screenwriter Irena Obermann definitely knew that this singular plot wouldn’t make a movie even with an entire canine companion, so she added a few more subplots, which were nothing more than a way to add some more or less entertaining sides. characters to movies.

A pair of dog walkers played by Taťjana Medvecká and Jiří Lábus will delight the dog walker community, who are looking to secure permits for a public playground for children and dogs with the help of a petition. The lifestyle world is represented by Dita’s mother who is affected in exaggerated, even irresistible appearances by Veronika Ilková and her dangerous friend and boss (Hana Vagnerová). That an abandoned heart hides beneath the behavior of these two is easy.

Prague’s Grébovka Park is beautiful and bright, the interior is polished, the costumes accurately reflect the character of each character. Sedláček makes films that are very different from his other works. It’s almost old world fun, so dog lovers in particular, of whom there’s sure to be more than a small number, can fill the theaters pretty well.
