What happens
Capricious Summer (Czech: Rozmarné léto), a 1968 Czechoslovak comedy film, was the first colour film directed by Jiří Menzel. It is based on the novel Rozmarné léto (Summer of Caprice) by the Czech writer Vladislav Vančura. It was listed to compete at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival, but the festival was cancelled due to the events of May 1968 in France. The film won the Crystal Globe at 1968 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. The film depicts a humorous story of three men, a retired artillery major, a priest and a bath-keeper, during rainy summer days. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
