Der LiebesboteSynopsis
Julinka lives with her uncle, the owner of a cosy winebar and shop, Mr Kubašta. Kubašta is strict with Julinka's education and so she has to keep her love for Láďa Kostecký a secret. Dr Kosejk, a regular at the winebar, tries to help Julinka and Kubašta eventually consents to her wedding. Julinka moves out after the wedding and Kubašta remains in the house alone. Dr Kosejk recommends Věra Náhlovská to him as a housekeeper. At the beginning, everything goes well with Věra working for him at the winebar. The ageing Kubašta, however, begins to fall under her spell to such an extent that even his fatherly love for Julinka grows cold. The calculating Věra secretly meets up with the mayor's son Miloš. Kubašta falls ill and goes off to be treated at a spa. Věra makes use of his absence and sacks the shop assistant and the chef; the winebar and shop are transformed into a low dive of poor reputation. Miloš realises he had made a mistake seeing Věra and he breaks up the relationship. Kubašta at the spa finds out what has been going on and returns. He is shocked to see how much the place has changed and after a bitter quarrel with Věra, he loses consciousness. The doctor is called but it is too late. Věra does not gain anything by his death since Kubašta wisely wrote a new will while he was recuperating at the spa.
