A morality play that derives its decent rating from a provocative theme, but a theme isn't everything, and the scriptwriter and director neglected to give their play an appropriate and credible framework. Many things are out of place. Despite its relatively short runtime, it feels like a muddled TV production, lacking attention to detail. Even if I overlook the incomplete script, such a theme might be more successful in the Anglo-American environment, which emphasizes classic family values for socially engaged individuals and does not forgive infidelity of public figures. In our pragmatically Czech environment, infidelity is seen as a personal matter, as evidenced by the reactions to the infidelities of our leading politicians. Overall impression: 40%. (30/04/2009)
