Samotári / Loners (2000)
Comedy
Robert works for a travel agency and helps to arrange scenes from the everyday lives of "ordinary" Czech families as an attraction for Japanese tourists. He also works as a kind of matchmaker and occasionally helps to put together some of his friends. He helps to separate his friend Hanka from Peter, an announcer for an independent radio station who tries to capture "real" life by recording the moments from "reality" and playing them over the air. Vesna, came to Prague from Macedonia because it is according to her the best place for UFOs to land, but her real reason for coming is somewhat different… Hanka is followed by the crazy Ondrej, until then a respected brain surgeon, and married with two kids. Through him she meets Jacob, who uses copious amounts of weed in order to be constructive in this gloomy world. On the other hand, this destroys his short-term memory – and he forgets that he already has a girlfriend. The disappointed Hanka runs to her parents, only to find some twenty-odd Japanese tourists watching her parents eat their dinner…

Grandhotel / Grand Hotel (2006)
Comedy
In this whimsical, rather fey movie in a setting that's both shabby (the city) and grand (the landscape), two couples who trade places and two older men who bother the shy main character Fleischman wander in and out of scenes in a hotel perched on a mountain and topped by a pointed weather tower. There are dreamy, breathtaking panoramic views of sky, clouds, and the city of Liberic below. Up in that tower, Fleischman practices the art of meteorology and shies away from girls.
Starring: Marek Taclík, Klára Issová, Jaroslav Plesl, Jaromír Dulava, Ladislav Mrkvicka

Jedna ruka netleská / One Hand Can't Clap (2003)
Comedy
Daffy, overly-ambitious Czech caper comedy displays an appealing, surreal stoner wit but is hamstrung by escalating absurdities and a certain smug distance. Third feature from David Ondricek pokes fun at personal eccentricities and societal mores.
Starring: Jirí Machácek, Ivan Trojan, Marek Taclík, Klára Pollertová, Isabela Bencová, Kristina Lukesová, David Matásek
