Andula (Hana Brejchová), an innocent Czech girl from a factory town, is desperately in search of love. She believes she's found it when she beds Milda (Vladimir Pucholt), a charming young musician visiting from Prague. Milda, however, is only looking for a casual encounter, and leaves town assuming he'll never see Andula again. But when Andula doesn't hear from him, she packs up and heads to Prague, to the surprise of Milda and his parents (Milada Jezkova, Josef Sebanek).

Mr. Forman is shrewdly aware of the foolish hearts and simple minds at hand, but fondness and understanding make comedy rather than condescension the touchstone of his realism.

A mixture of social satire and domestic drama spiced with a sense of humor as discreet as it is corrosive. [Full review in Spanish]

During the entire film, Forman racks his brains to put his camera in the place of a witness, of an intruder. And to stress the indiscretion enough for it to bring embarrassment, and for the embarrassment to lead to laughter.

This charming, offbeat Czech comedy, which was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, put director Milos Forman on the map.

While I can recognize its historical and cultural importance as the paragon of the Czech New Wave, ultimately this style of sparse filmmaking just doesn't resonate with me over a half-century after the fact, and what was once fresh ends up leaving me rather cold. The first act, especially the principle dance scene, is awkwardly funny and absurdist in spurts, but as the film plods on without much narrative or characterization, I found my mind wandering and the story wanting. Perhaps, as some critics suggest, the film dwells in the starkness and banality and stupidity of the oppressive state it subtly exploits and exposes, but the satire feels underdeveloped and rather monotone, much likes its plot and much like its main character.

This early film by Milos Forman is a good film on its own, but also hints at the great things to come. This simple drama is made up of a few well-constructed scenes that make it irresistible.

Very charming movie with genuine acting and feelings. The whole bit with the guy having to sleep with his parents because of the girl is brilliant. It made me laugh a lot. Overall, pretty damn funny movie with plenty of charm.

A wonderful film that is poetic as prophetic. Andula' journey is set into three stages 1) from trying to find love 2) having found love 3) getting a glimpse of the future of what her life can be. Her journey is heartfelt and heart breaking that leads to its final conclusion
