Plot
Boza (Jiri Schmitzer) is the responsible son who cares for his mother (Jirina Trebicka) and wayward younger brother Dan (Ondrej Vetchy). He works hard in his job as a printer and, at the request of his mother, watches over Dan, a boozing jokester. When Boza falls in love with Magda (Ivana Velichova), Dan seduces her just to spite his brother. After she becomes pregnant, Dan flees to join the Army, and Boza approaches Madga's parents, offering to marry the unwed mother-to-be. The two marry and go on to have a second child and making a home together. Several years later, Dan returns from the Army and again seduces Magda. After Boza is hit by a car and killed while crossing the street, he comes back to haunt Dan and his unfaithful wife. Even in death, Boza keeps the promise made to his mother to watch over his brother. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

This film stars two of the most recognized Czech actors, Ondřej Vetchý who plays Dan, and Jiří Schmitzer as Bóza.
The story is about two brothers, both competing for the affection of their ailing mother, the friendship of their workmates and the love of a beautiful woman.
Boza, the older brother dedicates himself to hard work at the printing plant where they are both employed. His younger brother Dan slacks off and loots the factory for things to sell on the black market. He drinks with his friends at the local bar and has sex with many loose women.
When Boza falls in love with a beautiful coworker, Dan makes love to her just to spite his older brother (in a very shocking sex scene). Dan's torment and cruelty to his older brother continues until it has a shocking result.
Set in the dark world of Communist era Czechoslovakia, this disturbing film targets the very cruel nature of human beings to take advantage of those less fortunate. It also targets the corruption of the world in which the characters live.
