Plots(1)
The thirteen-episode series AŽ PO UŠI (Head Over Heels), another of HBO Europe's original live-action productions, depicts complex sexual relationships in contemporary central Europe. The story, directed by acclaimed Czech director Jan Hřebejk, forms three intertwined love triangles. The resulting mosaic, which doesn't limit itself to heterosexual relationships, boasts a top-of-the-league cast. The heroine - the unhitched Šárka, who works in an ad agency - is played by Aňa Geislerová. The artist Jakub, with whom Šárka struggles for a deeper relationship, will be depicted by Jiří Havelka. Jakub's calculating girlfriend, who forces her way into Jakub's affections, is played by Lenka Krobotová. Another triangle forms between the womanizing car-dealership owner Milan (Hynek Čermák), his unhappy wife Zuzana (Jitka Čvančarová), and the complex-ridden Ema (Anna Polívková), who begins an unusual erotic affair with Milan, while his cheated-on and disoriented wife succumbs to the charms of a lesbian masseuse (Jana Kolesárová). This drama is full of unusual characters, depicts uncommon professions, takes place in attractive locations, and takes advantage of Prague's picturesque exteriors. The story explains varying motives for emotional attachments, for infidelity, and for various forms of romantic disillusionment. It depicts erotic thrill-seeking, altruistic sacrifices for others, and the eternal human longing for love. (official distributor synopsis)
