It is the beginning of the third millennium and the situation of the human race is critical. Secret experiments with the G bomb has caused women to grow beards and completely lose their ability to bear children. The only hope is an expedition which Professor Moore wants to make in his time machine, planning to go to Prague of 1911 and kill Professor Einstein, whose calculations eventually resulted in the production of the G bomb. Moore is accompanied by mathematician Frank Pech and pretty historian Gwen Williams. Their plan is based on historical records, according to which Einstein almost died in the house of the banker Wertheim, standing under a heavy chandelier which fell on the exact spot he had stood on just a while ago. The task of the group of three is only to help the tragedy a little - to thwart the scientist's rescue. The time machine lands in Prague but, gradually, everything goes wrong. Frank makes friends with an ingenious little arithmetician and great rascal named František, his future father. But the boy dies instead of Einstein and Frank - who thus could not have been born - disappears in an instant. The expedition has failed. Moore asks for a new attempt. This time, Gwen decides to use her women's charms against Einstein, convincing him to abandon physics and take up a career playing the violin. But when the expedition returns to the future, everything has changed. Moore finds out to his horror that he had remained the only one real man. Chemistry, which came to rule the world in the new history instead of physics, caused a "female" mutation to men, preventing them from having any descendants. Moore can do naught else but engender new generations and invent the "salutary" nuclear bomb. (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

A superb sci-fi and an excellent comedy as well. It’s surprising just how much Czech cinema has gone downhill over the years. An ingenious, but small.-scale plot, an excellently educative ending and great acting performances. P.S.: Note the first ever selfie-stick and rhino glue. ;-)

Bearded women who ring alarms at work for demonstrations refuse to shave for men until they invent a way for you to lose your beard for good. And that's even if they're in the middle of a movie with a script that comes straight from the UN. Apart from that, Janžurová takes the first (polaroid) selfie in movie history. Well, tell me this doesn't look like the worn plot of some contemporary liberal with the demise of the Roman Empire in his lapel, terrified that emancipation will take away his acquired privileges. ___ Another one of Lipský's misfires, that stubs its toe on his inability to keep the rhythm of a comedy that according to the script, was supposed to keep building. But then there's the problem of not getting bogged down in messages about the horror of the atom, long stripteases (though I admit I'm not the target audience, as for me Brejchová is the visual equivalent of Monika Babišová), poorly lit shootouts, and multiple endings. Plus, I felt it was done under some pretty dull editor’s scissors, where lines like "You have some strange manners at that Princeton!" tend to slip past instead of potentially good jokes. Anyway, I don't give Janžurová movies less than three stars because the woman is just a fantastic bimbo.
