Linda and Vanda are very close friends. Thirty years old owners of a small bookstore in downtown, but both totally different. Linda is a divorced, well educated, practical young lady with a small daughter and a strong sense of responsibility. That is what independent, happy and single Vanda misses. She attracts a lot of men, but her passionate life is too much for any of them. She is looking for The one. Actively actually. And the third "problem" is a salesman in the bookstore, girls' best friend Edo. He desperately wants an eternal love, but for a shy, emotional and introvent gay it is not easy to find. Lives of these friends will be affected by several men... Linda meets a charismatic developer Jakub, who isn't who seems to be. Vanda starts a relationship with her former university teacher Aladar, whom she is willing to marry because "he just likes her". And Edo falls in love with another boyfriend. Leo, this time... But everything ends, of course, completely different than expected... (Bioscop)

Is Czech filmmaking scene really so bad that producers decide to finance a movie that looks (and not only looks) like your typical Colombian soap opera? And that they drag Polish actors into it, who put in quite different performances in Polish movies? I mean going from Polish cinematography into a shitty movie like this is no easy thing. Czech filmmakers really have a lot to learn from our Polish neighbors.

I know, I know, the script is stale, some of the scenes are a bit awkward, and there's not much point to it either. But that's exactly what you need every once in a while. To laugh, to dream, and not to take everything too seriously. The acting is very well done by most of the cast. For example, Klárka Issová surprised me with her role. I welcome Ondra Sokol always, everywhere, and to any extent. There could have been more of him here. And then, of course, the superb Táňa. The soundtrack is also very nice. On the other hand, it's a pity about the terribly unnatural dubbing. 4 stars.

Ten years ago, Pavlásková tried to make a similar women’s film based on Nesvadbová, and today we get Ferencová adapting Urbaníková. In the film, certain transpositions are rather interesting. While the book protagonist runs an antiquarian bookstore in Bratislava, the film protagonist runs a bookstore in Prague. While Pavlásková made do with local actors, Ferencová got two Poles (with very bad dubbing) to play alongside the main character. She had the dolls Pauhofová and Issová dress up at least five times for each scene, and to make sure no one missed anything, she gave them a couple of gay men as friends. Is this still a Czech film?

I’m not sure who came up with the idea that an international cast could make up for a lame script, but it didn’t score any points with me. Listening to dialogue that had nothing to do with real life, and watching another crappy story was almost more than I could take.
