    Zuza, the main character of this movie, lives a very hectic life. She's young and beautiful. She attracts each man she meets. Zuza is a dubbing actress while she's still studying. On her occasional trip to Paris with her friend who wants her very much, she meets a young French, which she immediately falls in love with. But she has a boyfriend back home in Bratislava (BTW I realized this fact very close to the end of the film). This student, greatly performed by Mikulás Kren, feels ashamed when Zuza pays for him in restaurants and pubs because he hasn't got a lot of money. He mostly concerns to his Chinese studies. Generally Zuza is rather unhappy in her life and sometimes seeks support and advice at her grandmother's, an old lady with Hungarian origin. One of the most surprising things of this film is the end, very unexpected and strange. In this film appears also a great Slovakian director Martin Hollý. In his few scenes he gives Zuza advices how to act and "how to live." When watching this movie I felt a little disturbed by Zuzana Sulajová performance. Especially in the beginning I could not use to her way of acting. She is trying to be too good and she is pretending something that she's not. I loved her much more in her first movie Záhrada (in my my opinion the best Slovakian movie of last 20 years), where she was more natural and actual. Despite this I thing that this film is good and I recommend to watch it, because it's one of the best (and one of few) Slovakian movies done in last couple of years.
