Objížďka

Květoliby-under-Linden is a small town where everything follows an unremarkable routine. One day, however, everything changes - a busy highway is being repaired, and all the traffic is diverted via Květoliby. The inhabitants first observe the increased traffic reluctantly, especially when the cars begin to threaten the one-hundred-year old linden, but some of them gradually begin to adjust to the new situation. The income of the local pub increases and Marta, the pub's young manager, is constantly courted by drivers from abroad, to the great displeasure of her wooer, the chairman of the Municipal National Committee himself. The women begin to dress up and visit the local hairdresser Ticháček with unprecedented frequency. Even the long-single social worker Anna Floriánová falls in love with a sturdy Hungarian driver. The chairman, out of fear of losing his Marta, rather agrees to marry her. The great problem of the new situation is the precious linden which stands in the way of the cars passing through Květoliby. The tree divides the little town into two camps, but eventually falls down itself under the weight of its age. After some time, the detour is closed. It seems that peace and quiet would return to the town, but the citizens of Květoliby apparently got used to the new way of life and petition for the return of the detour.
