Empties (Vratne Lahve): Trailer

Czech literature teacher Josef unwillingly goes into retirement. Instead of a peaceful family life he chooses a part-time job in a supermarket at the bottle-return counter. The exciting new world that he creates there however leaves less and less room for his wife, Eliska, and she of course has no intention of getting used to it.

This love story in old age dramatises the formidable moments in life, but its humour avoids sentiment in the style of a bitter-sweet Czech comedy.

EMPTIES is the last in a trilogy from director Jan Sverak and his father screenwriter/actor Zdenek Sverak. The trilogy began with the Academy Award-nominated ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (1992), exploring childhood, continued into adulthood with Academy Award-winning KOLYA, and now comes to completion with EMPTIES, a comic love story about a man facing old age.

Opening across Canada, Fall 2008!

Any information about the North America or U.S. release of this film would be appreciated. I saw it in the Czech Republic- it is the most beautiful film I've ever seen. I recommend it to anyone.

Hi James! I don't believe there is a US Distributor for EMPTIES at the moment which is a shame as it's such a good film.

We will be releasing the film in Canada late fall.

[EllaMusicien]

Excellent film! I love Zdeněk Svěrák's acting. But I really can't imagine it in different language. It's just czech :-)

Can't wait...the trailer is tremendous!

[Quruli]

LOL surbvtr! The whole time I was watching it I was thinking, "Eff me, someone doesn't know how to cut a trailer." The trailer IS really bad! I'm seeing this movie on Sunday, so I hope it's better than the trailer! I really liked Kolja though. :)

Excelente comedia negra checa con toques humanos y reflexivos de caracter universal como la tercera edad.Imperdible.
