Adam a Eva

1940 · 96 min

A gentle, talky old-fashioned comedy of manners, pleasant and low-stakes, with mild romantic sparring and light social comedy.

Overview
Adam Kavalír returns from abroad to take over the family factory from his father. But as a consequence of his father's bohemian lifestyle the business is so far in debt that the Kavalírs even lose their villa and must find a place to sublet. Mrs. Trojanová is no longer up to managing her pension, the co-owner of which is none other than her peevish daughter Eva, and she is looking for a capable manager. Adam applies for the position and is accepted.
