This tragicomic drama of harshly tested love between husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, parents and children focuses on a Nazi prisoner Otto, owner of the exclusive Valentino hair salon in the center of Prague. The salon, where he used to employ most of his family, was Otto’s dearest fulfillment in life, but the war changed everything and everyone. Otto’s fight for freedom and his subsequent imprisonment left deep marks on his character.
Jiří Macháček, Gabriela Míčová and Anna Geislerová play the main characters.
The film was produced by Fog'n'Desire Films in coproduction with the Czech Television, Barrandov Studio, Slovakia’s Sokol Kollar, KFS Production and RTVS and Poland’s MD4 and Chimney.
