Synopsis: Věra Chytilová's feature-length debut is a confrontation of the fates of two women, one of whom lives for her family and the other for competitive sports. Gymnast Eva Bosáková, whose cast gives the fictional story the feel of a documentary, has sacrificed her privacy for years in pursuit of top athletic performance and looks forward to compensating for it all someday. In contrast, Věra, who has so far focused on her family and household, is dissatisfied due to a lack of self-fulfillment. Both women question the meaning of life, yet it becomes clear that at the moment when they could realize their dream "of something different"; they voluntarily return to their previous way of life, because they begin to feel that this is where they belong...
