- A biographical film about the black-and-white era Czech actress Lída Baarová and her doomed love affair with one of the Third Reich's most powerful men: the Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels.
- A dark comedy about a "kid" of our times. The American Dream, Czech-style. Everybody would like to glide through life and come into money so easily. It's not always that simple, though. Czechmademan is one of the few unique peeks back at the past two decades of Czech freedom. The movie is based on the narrative of a Czech multimillionaire who achieved success not by stripping companies, making crooked deals and crony-ism, but by blazing his own trail like Schweikesque self-made man. He realizes early on that he has nobody but himself to rely on. During the totalitarian regime of the 80s, he ambles along his oddball path and then experiences the Velvet Revolution atypically, too - in an asylum amidst nut-cases. After the Revolution, he really gets rolling. To Germany and back. To prison and back. To China and back. The intriguing and endless opportunities afforded by the Internet eventually blossom into virtual prosperity. The hero has everything and is even planning a highly unorthodox family... A happy ending is nigh, until everything goes up in smoke, of course...
- After the death of Trudy, a centenarian, some lucrative land with an old house are left at the end of the village. That is convenient for the mayor (Pavel Kikincuk), who have designs on the land and want to build a used car lot there. But Trudy's descendant Adam (Jan Dolanský) decide that he likes the villa and he'll fix it up, even though it is supposedly haunted. The plot revolves around a man with a slightly unconventional and ambiguous name Petr Soustal (Lukás Langmajer), who comes to the village to become the priest. He has no idea what's awaiting him or what all he will have to resolve and for this reason a lot of humorous situations arise...
- A Christmas crazy comedy. The fifth episode of the successful franchise again follows the various caroms around the mayor Pepa Novák (Václav Vydra).
- It's 10 years later and the popular protagonists of the town of Kamenákov are back in fine form. Pepa's wife Vilma has left for Australia to be with their daughter, so Pepa (Václav Vydra) and his son Pepík are living in a purely bachelor household with no cooking or ironing skills and with eggs exploding in the microwave. Teacher Vlasta (Dana Morávková) is intensively circling around Pepa, sensing an opportunity to fill the hole that Vilma left. Pepa, however, is completely absorbed by his new future--he has become the Mayor of Kamenákov and inherited his predecessor's flexible secretary Bohous (Bohumil Klepl). Their first mission together at town hall is to establish a local police force since, as everybody knows, the income from the fines goes right to the town's coffers. The local Rambo, Franta Cloumal (Martin Dejdar), becomes the Police Chief, and finally earns some recognition from his wife.
- A sequel to a Czech cult film Bony a klid (1988) about a group of money dealers, who trafficked foreign currencies and so called "bony" during the Communist era. Bony served as exchange vouchers used in shops with otherwise unavailable goods from Western countries. Any unauthorized trading of these currencies was punishable by law. However, as long as the police also got its cut, everyone kept quiet. Twenty five years later the group of small time criminals is back. They quickly shook the demise of their lucrative régime business off and adapted to a new market. They now specialize in governmental and European Union funding. A new young protagonist Martin (Jakub Prachar) who, like his predecessor, comes from a small city to Prague is dragged into their shady dealings...
