Similar comment is posted earlier. But this did kind of warn me of my future not so far ahead in future! Financial management is key to success and may even famous people do not do it and face the peril in the end. Developed country or not, it is the same story. The wife's approach looks right but the husband seem right too. As money is not the end in itself. Have it enough so as to not to waste time on worrying - know that limit of yours, is what I would say, is my take away from this movie.Now writing these lines just to make the review more than 10 lines as mandated by guidelines :) - the actors seems genuinely common people and not the well known heroes, at least for me as I do not know much of the Czech film industry. One of the channels shows all such international films and are usually pretty good. I am going to recommend this movie for local film clubs.

Not much to say other than it is simply a masterpiece. this film contains a myriad of messages that all should take to heart. especially- women do not squelch your man's dreams -honor them -that's why you loved him in the first place! Those who plan for death will live in the grave. Those who carpe diem will awaken those who live in fear. Even our Lord spoke of this when he chastised the the one who buried his talent in fear that he might make a mistake and displease the Master. Take a risk, get out of the boat and you will walk on water. Life is a journey that does not end in the grave but in our minds and souls.

As an (aging) college professor, I am constantly in contact with American youth who think that old folks are "icky, out-of-it, unaware, dull, and boring." And here at last, is a masterful film that demonstrates that some seniors are really young people who happen to be trapped in old bodies. Without spoiling the plot line, let me just say that the lead character in this film brought tears to my eyes with his portrayal of one man's struggle to remain young and vibrant. And also, it was just wonderful to see a story told so well through ACTING and PHOTOGRAPHY without lab-generated special effects. This film's a real gem!

This film just won the best film award at the Cleveland International Film Festival. It's American title apparently is Autumn Spring. The acting is superb. The story takes you into the life of an elderly man who takes what life deals him and spikes it up a little bit. Abetted by his best friend (and partner in not-so-serious crime) he puts people on at every opportunity but still often reveals his heart of gold. His longsuffering wife has come to her wits end and makes a life-changing decision which is heartbreaking to watch. The resolution of the story is beautiful.
