- DirectorZdenek TroskaStarsVáclav VydraJana PaulováHelena VondráckováA sequel to the light summer comedy. The castle's miraculous blue spring, the waters of which had irrefutable erectile effects, has disappeared as quickly as it began. Actually, it hasn't disappeared; it has just gone elsewhere: to the home of old Mrs. Kropácková, whose incredible thirst has awakened a 20-year lust. The town's younger men are in danger; many others end up as rape victims on a psychiatrist's couch, and Officer Pepa Novák (Václav Vydra) has his hands full. The castle owner certainly won't allow "his" spring to be snatched away from him, and the local head doctor, who has already pictured himself as the world's exclusive supplier of "Liquid Viagra," is beside himself with rage.
- DirectorJán NovákPavel PásekStarsVáclav VydraDana MorávkováMartin DejdarIt's 10 years later and the popular protagonists of the town of Kamenákov are back in fine form. Pepa's wife Vilma has left for Australia to be with their daughter, so Pepa (Václav Vydra) and his son Pepík are living in a purely bachelor household with no cooking or ironing skills and with eggs exploding in the microwave. Teacher Vlasta (Dana Morávková) is intensively circling around Pepa, sensing an opportunity to fill the hole that Vilma left. Pepa, however, is completely absorbed by his new future--he has become the Mayor of Kamenákov and inherited his predecessor's flexible secretary Bohous (Bohumil Klepl). Their first mission together at town hall is to establish a local police force since, as everybody knows, the income from the fines goes right to the town's coffers. The local Rambo, Franta Cloumal (Martin Dejdar), becomes the Police Chief, and finally earns some recognition from his wife.
- DirectorZdenek TroskaStarsVáclav VydraJana PaulováMarek VasutThe third in a series of clamorous comedies about the everyday tribulations of the inhabitants of the Southern Bohemian town of Kamenákov. A Romany family moves into Police Chief Pepa's (Václav Vydra) neighborhood. Leo Khon (Josef Laufer), the richest man in Kamenákov, owns a soccer team made of friends and acquaintances. They play miserably, however, managing to lose to the worst of all teams: the Boulders of Little Rock. Khon's mother-in-law refuses to ignore such a waste of family funds and bets her son-in-law that she, who knows absolutely nothing about soccer, can put together a team which will pulverize his freeloaders. And why not, since Romany boys are practically born wearing soccer shoes? The stakes are high and each team is promised a special reward for winning.
- DirectorZdenek TroskaStarsVáclav VydraJana PaulováVera KuchtováA comedy that whisks the viewer off to the quiet Southern Bohemian town of Kamenákov, where an array of typical Czech characters and archetypal families live life to an unvarying rhythm. The Nováks are a good example: the father (Václav Vydra) is on the police force, his wife (Jana Paulová) is a teacher, their daughter studies nursing, and nine-year-old Pepícek is a motormouth commenting on everything that happens. Imagine then the kid's surprise when two representatives of the English nobility arrive in order to claim the local palace (recovered through the post-Revolution restitution process). Small towns keep no secrets; soon everyone knows that the new lord of the manor has come to search for the treasure his father allegedly stashed away. And this juicy tidbit whets the appetites of the three local mafiosi in particular: a hardened criminal, the nouveau-rich Khon (Josef Laufer), and the town's dandy of a mayor.
- DirectorJirí VejdelekStarsBolek PolívkaMarián LabudaVítezslav HolubRoming is a comical road movie about three Romas' journey from North Bohemia to Slovakia. Jura (Vítezslav Holub) is a modern, rational young man who is studying at university and doing well. When his father (Marián Labuda) asks him to go to Slovakia with him to meet his bride-to-be - from an agreement Jura's father made with his best friend when Jura was still a boy - Jura can't believe his ears. At first he rejects the ridiculous request, but it doesn't take long before he folds under his father's emotional blackmail. Together with the temperamental and uncontrollable family friend Stano (Bolek Polívka), they set off in an old delivery van on a cross-country trip. Roming is an exceptional film in all ways. Just below the surface of the comedy-road movie genre is the universal message of human solidarity, tolerance, and searching for one's own identity. The screenplay won the Sazka Prize and came in first in the national round for the international Hartley-Merrill Prize.
- DirectorJan SverákStarsZdenek SverákDaniela KolárováPavel LandovskýA comic love story about a man who refuses to accept that old age is empty of love, meaning and value to society.

We follow the riveting duel between a representative of law and order and a person who changes the rules to suit himself. Police Inspector Cajthaml (Lukás Vaculík) has dedicated his life to trailing the Godfather and he never lost his faith in the victory of justice.
