    Maybe I am too idiotic but I don't see anything in this movie - what is about? Where is some unlogical plot with stolen baby (why couldn't the drivers back it immediately?, who cares about baby in second hand?) and some family problems on other hand, but it don't work together.

    It's agreeable to see a picture that holds us without perspiring to do so. We are treated not as an audience but as café chums to whom a story is being told

    A vibrant, immediate treatise on love and cultural identity in a complex new world of fluid borders and deep suspicions in the stunning new Czech drama Up and Down.
