Empties

One day Joseph suddenly retires from his job as a school teacher in Prague after an encounter with an unruly pupil and his frustration over the changing values and increased power given the students. A man full of humour and playful energy, he is not content to spend the autumn of his life in the uneventful bosom of his family. Another joint project by Oscar-winning duo Jan Sverak and Zdenek Sverak, EMPTIES is an intelligent, emotionally engaging comedy about finding meaning and love in later life.
