50 (Padesátka)

What happens in the mountains, stays in the mountains. Set in the beautiful snowy Krkonoše Mountains, the film centers around the Three Kings 50 KM Cross-Country Ski Race. This film introduces a varied cast of comical characters whose stories are intertwined, including a one-legged female skier, a sober snowmobile driver, an infertile ladies' man, and a bartender with a special fondness for divination. Meanwhile, the oldest member of the cross-country skiing Bulán family worries about his son's priorities. Instead of a desire to complete the 50 KM race, the young man is after a totally different 50: seducing mature women.
