Story
The story is about Anna Holubová, her daughter Michala, her son Petr and her husbands. The whole story takes place under socialism (in the fifth episode appears 1 May and Gustáv Husák). Furthermore, in the example is mentioned SSM (Socialist Union of Youth). Anna after the divorce starts working in a convenience store, where she meets her future husband while solving problems with stammering Jiřinka warehouse keeper Dominik, or Vilímek who likes her. But children do not like Anna's future husband (Peter Haničinec). Mother (Dana Medřická) again likes the way she moved (she works in the so-called OÚNZ - District Institute of National Health). Eventually, the children of Anna displease their father (Josef Langmiler), and permit Anna to get married again. The entire story takes place in one year (12 parts of 12 months).
