While the family’s rebellious and youngest son, Petr (Adam Vacula), takes a shine to Bára, his sister, Irena (Kristyna Ryska), a lover of luxury and power, decides to fight for the leadership of the family business. Meanwhile, German occupation forces are invading the Czechoslovakian state.

    1. Oh, you can, you get into it after five mins, in my county we only have subs for everything with do not do voice overs and I would not have it any other way. You get used to it in matters of minutes.

  2. Not for me. There's not a lot on TV that I like these days.

  3. I've managed to catch the subtitles on some Swedish and French thrillers that were on TV. More worrying I needed the French - I speak French, allegedly.

    1. Well, I used English subs with all my series and films, even though I am a professor of English LOL Sometimes it is difficult to hear what they say if you do not have the best speakers, so it is easier to follow both the subs and what they say. But I always use English subs, not the subs in my native language.

  4. Allison likes subs also. I am like Angie and cannot stand having them on. I only use them when watching non-English spoken movies and television.

    2. I do not. I find them so distracting and it's all I can focus on. Starting to think I have a touch of ADHD myself.
