The Plain Old Maid

Directed by Miroslav Hubáček

With Dana Medřická, Karel Höger, Otakar Brousek, Světla Amortová and František Holar

At the end of the 1950s, some filmmakers attempted to escape the ideological dictates by turning to psychological drama. We watch as an aging, uptight, strict woman who has come to inspect a regional publishing house literally blossoms and snows. A few days of comfort and happiness, however, are capped by a bitter epiphany: the man who had so charmed her has indeed embezzled the money entrusted to him.
