Trouble....

A story about five Czech friends who met in a Prague pub to play cards from the late 1960s, when they were finishing college, until the present day. There they discussed life, and the topics gradually changed from studies and girls to families, work problems, and even illness and death. They belonged to a generation born after the war, who started working during normalization and were at the peak of their careers in mid-life in the late 1980s. The fundamental change that came in 1989 completely changed their lives, including their preferences, interests, and needs. Can a person adapt to this? Some can, some can't, and some don't even want to. How to move forward? Continue as before? Skillfully find new opportunities? Complain about a wasted life? Feel the change and not be able to bear it?
