This was director Steen Agro's first major film, and he has reason to be proud. I look forward to his future efforts. I enjoy a good farce, and this one was entertaining.
British nebbish Colin visits Prague with his wife. Her sudden and bizarre accidental death leads Colin to a suicidal depression and he turns to the only person he knows in Prague - the hotel driver Pavel - to assist him in killing himself. Bumbling Pavel tries his best to perform his homicidal duty, but extenuating plot lines begin to unravel their idiotic plans.
The acting was competent from all parties involved, and the East-meets-West relationship between Andy Nyman and Karel Roden is believable and charming. I happen to love Prague and "Tschechia", so perhaps my conclusion is biased by Agro's terrific framing of this wonderful wintery place. If that is so, then damn me - but not this funny and weird film.
