Cinemateket - East by Southeast
Honeymoon takes place during a two-day wedding celebration. Bride Tereza and groom Radim make a lovely couple, despite the fact that they are both scared from bad marriage experiences. However, they are determined to try again and they are convinced that this time it will work out. It seems that a wedding celebration taking place in a circle of close relatives in a family cottage surrounded by a romantic landscape, is the most beautiful beginning of their life together. It would be so if the uninvited guest Jan Benda didn´t suddenly appear at the wedding. Jan soon gains the sympathy of the wedding guests. But who is he actually? And where does he come from? Is it just one of those innocent interlopers who usually appear at such events with the aim to feed themselves for free? Or does he come from the past of some of the wedding guests? The whole romance is getting cracked with Jan Benda. It´s necessary to get him away as soon as possible. Some secrets should never be discovered!
