Mature Wine (1981)
Zralé víno WikiData IMDb TMDB
Václav Vorlíček actor: Vladimír Menšík / Božidara Turzonovová …
other title: Zralé víno
A loose sequel to the 1976 comedy Stormy Wine. The screenwriters and the director recreate on screen a number of characters from the South Moravian town of Pálavice, characterised by their different attitudes and approaches to work and private life. A number of serious issues touching on the times emerge around the story of the con man. The fundamental dispute between the vice-chairman Janák and the chairman of the merged cooperatives ing. Urban, as well as the satirical theme of illegal machinations and bribes, are undoubtedly of general validity.

Part three finds a peasant woman taking a lover when her husband goes off to fight the war.
