Loners (2000 film)

The film stars relatively unknown (at the time) actors such as Ivan Trojan, Jiří Macháček, Jitka Schneiderová and Saša Rašilov and is considered to be a Czech cult classic.

The story revolves around seven young people from Prague whose empty and unfulfilling lives gradually intertwine as a result of a series of unforeseen events.

He has just got separated from his girlfriend Hanka (Jitka Schneiderová) and uses his airtime to speak about his feelings after the breakup which angers his boss.

She asks her friend Jakub (Jiří Macháček) to help her move things from Petr's flat to her parents' house.

Meanwhile, Ondřej's wife Lenka (Dana Sedláková) together with her colleague Robert (Mikuláš Křen) bring Japanese customers of their travel agency to show them how Czech families normally live.

Robert meets Vesna (Labina Mitevska), Macedonian bartender who arrived in the Czech Republic to find her father.

Worried Lenka tries to find some clues into his disappearance and soon discovers a hidden stack of old photos of Ondřej with Hanka and him dressed as a plumber.

She asks Jakub to forge the signature but when she brings the signed pick to Robert's flat, she finds him with another woman.

When the party is over, everyone in Robert's flat falls asleep but Ondřej soon wakes up and tries to set them on fire - something he already did after his first breakup with Hanka.

Hanka is furious and tells him how drugs destroyed his brain, using exactly the same phrase her despotic mother (Hana Maciuchová) frequently uses.
