Jan Dite is short in height but high in ambition. To put it bluntly, the young provincial waiter wants to became a millionaire. And he knows just how to do it: by hearing everything, seeing everything and using what he heard and saw. Armed with knowledge and an irrepressible wish to please, he soon leaves his first place of employment, a pub, for a luxury brothel and finally an elegant art Nouveau Prague restaurant. But by now it’s late 1930’s and things are changing: Hitler has taken the Sudetenland and is breaking apart Czecchoslovakia.
One of the most famous Czech directors Jiri Menzel was born in Prague in 1938. He graduated in directing at the Prague film school FAMU, among the filmmakers whose generation later was called "a new wave of Czech cinema". He has won numerous film awards, the most importnat being American Film Academy Oscar for the film "Closely Watched Trains" in 1968.
