What happens

Ratolesti (English: Sprouts) is a Czech drama television series, that premiered on Czech Television in 2025. The series focuses on the clash between professional and parental life in the context of current social problems. Individual episodes address issues such as drugs, gender identity, or value conflicts in education. It is a loose sequel to the series The Defender. According to the series' creative producer, Jan Maxa, however, it differs from its predecessor: "The Protector was very much about how the education system actually deals with children who are different or complex and do not fit into the standard. Ratolesti is primarily about how difficult it is to find out what is going on in our children's heads". The main roles were played by Anna Geislerová, Stanislav Majer, Matouš Ruml, Tomas Sean Pšenička and Milena Steinmasslová. The first episode of the series premiered on Sunday, October 5, 2025, on ČT1 in prime time. Along with the series, Czech Television launched new content on the educational portal ČT edu called "Nebuďte na to sami" ("Don't Face It Alone"), aimed at supporting teachers, students, and parents. The goal of the project is to provide help and information to those who are dealing with challenging life situations at school or in the family. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
