Synopsis

Dalibor Vrána is a twice divorced bookseller, whose favourite hobby is to seduce beautiful women. Since he must also pay aliments, his living standard isn't too high and when he once visits a meeting of his former schoolmates, he sees the misery of his life. However, once a drunked guest in a restaurant mistakenly regards him as a waiter and Vrána finds a solution of his joyless situation: to dress himself as a waiter and cash money from guests in restaurants. He has big success and money fall, but I don't have to say that it is a dangerous job with a lot of risks...

One of the best Czech comedies that has ever been filmed. According to the authors, it was allegedly based on a true story. The movie also got an award of the critique and an award for the best screenplay at a humouristic film festival in France. The music of Jaroslav Uhlíř is also worth note.
