Twenty-five years after Cosy Dens, Miroslav Donutil and Bolek Polívka reunite in a sharp new comedy alongside Jitka Čvančarová, Eva Leinweberová, Simona Lewandovská, Jiří Ployhar, Ondřej Bauer, Tereza Blažková, and Filip Červenka.

The story centres on the clash of two completely different families—the aristocratic Cimburk-Kolovrats and the modest Nováks—brought together by their children’s planned wedding. In an effort to bring the families closer, the young couple gives each set of parents DNA tests. Their results come as a shock, revealing ties more familial than expected. A comedy of heritage, identity, and class pride shot largely on location at Sobotín Castle.
