CzechmademanSummary
This black comedy is inspired by the real story of a Czech multi-millionaire who goes by the name Jakub Vrána in the film. The film shows the life of a fraudster who was once playing the accordion in pubs. He managed to find loopholes in the system and took advantage of them. After the Velvet Revolution he began dealing with shortage goods, but also with his own body, making fake horse-race betting slips and trading in China with counterfeit Czech glass, and then becomes involved in the computer business. He is presently making huge sums through illegal domain parking.
