Mieux vaux être riche et en bonne santé que pauvre et malade

The third installment of Juraj Jakubisko's loosely connected 'trilogy of freedom and happiness' (Birds, Orphans and Fools, and Sitting on a Branch, Enjoying Myself) updates the films' central theme in conjunction with the new political and economic situation which arose after the fall of the Iron Curtain. Once again Jakubisko uses a love triangle as the foreground story for his concerns about society, and diagrams burgeoning Czechoslovak democracy as a tragicomic satire.
