Trailer and story ....


The trailer has just come out on www.movie-list.com .... it's a good one! It's so sweet at the end with the guy holding the baby and playing with the football! I was wondering does everyone have details about the story? The trailer is a lil vague ...

You should look up the Czech official site for the movie, there should also be an English version. Otherwise, I´m Czech myself and I´ve seen the movie on the day it came out and I was really excited about it. It is mainly a story about two men. One is a rough football rowdie, whose wife brings home an orphan vietnamese child. Second is an university professor, that wants to settle things with his son that he didnť see for twenty years. If you enjoy stories in which extraordinary situations affect lives of ordinary people, you will like this movie.

Thanks monika-salova for the synopsis!

Oh and sorry should have been more specific! It's down under the English title 'Up and down'. Here's the link to the page where you can download it:

Enjoy! :)

The trailer (as I recall) doesn't have much to do with the main story at all. I got the movie based on the trailer, and then sat there thinking "this isn't what the trailer said...."

There are two completely unrelated incongruous parts to this film. Part of it is about a couple of goons who hustle people across the border, find themselves with a baby leftover, and the story of what happens to the baby. (That's all in the trailer.) The other (more major part) is about this screwed up family...long lost brother, old relationships no one talks about, etc. The two stories are very tenuously linked by one character who is a counselor to the refugee whose baby went missing.

It was like someone had two story ideas, but niether was enough for a whole movie, so someone else said "eh, what the heck. just put them together."
