Het verhaal

Samenvatting in het Engels

What is life like for divorced men, separated from their table, bed, and bank account by an angry ex-wife? How does divorce affect their morale and self-confidence? The main character, Rudolf, a noble and charming man of the world, is forced to move from the luxury of the big city to a rural hotel he owns with his dissolute brother Arnošt after a divorce caused by a reckless love affair. Upset by the situation, Rudolf is torn between his determination to settle down in a peaceful monogamous relationship and the temptations served up daily by the notorious reveler and womanizer Arnošt. And as if a hangover weren't punishment enough, the gentlemen also have to deal with the obnoxious and capable owner of the neighboring hotel, whom they somehow accidentally declared war on.
