Welcome to Rozumov—a village where everyone knows everything about everyone else, where neighborly feuds are passed down from generation to generation, and no scandal stays hidden behind closed gates for long. For years, the village has been torn apart by a feud between two irreconcilable families. On one side stands the Šmrha family, on the other the Průša family, and both are convinced that truth, honor, and common sense reside solely with them. Their children, Karel and Marie, however, are secretly in love despite their fathers’ wishes. When Marie, after yet another family spat, agrees to participate in the reality TV show Blind Wedding, she causes quite a stir in Rozumov. Karel is distraught, the parents are furious, and a TV crew—along with an eccentric Swedish metalhead—arrives in the village. So, in a haze of alcohol, Šmrha and Průša call an unexpected truce and devise a plan to save their children from a televised embarrassment: they’ll secretly marry them off by proxy.

When the Tugendhat family had their villa built in the late 1920s, they had no idea how many stories it would inspire. A few years ago, British writer Simon Mawer wrote a novel called "The Glass Room." The novel tells the story of Liesel and Viktor Landauer, set in Brno between the two world wars. He was a promising industrialist, she was a rich beauty from a good family. As a wedding gift, they received a plot of land and had an Austrian architect build them a monumental house made of glass and concrete. Inside the house, their family life unfolds, but so do passionate stories of infidelity and even lesbian love. Through the glass of their villa, however, they can also observe the brown threat approaching from Hitler's Germany and the transformations of the young Czechoslovak Republic. When the threat becomes real, the Landauers understand that their time in the fictional City and in the house with the glass room has come to an end.
