Empties

A comic love story about a man who refuses to accept that old age is empty of love, meaning and value to society. One day Josef (Zdenek Sverák) suddenly retires from his job as a school teacher in Prague after an encounter with an unruly pupil and his frustration of changing values and increased power given to 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.
