They look and talk the same, but the difference is remarkable between Antonín, the globetrotter and his son Michael who prefers to work home in his atelier.

The role of Tantra in Buddhism also with the Tibetan Dalai Lama.

We watch Pavlíček very close, but rather than "talking head" we see him in interaction: in the studio, with the band at the concerts, with the fans and with the family. The oldest son, Michal, now a manager, talks about his father's obsession with creation. Son Honza, the guitar technician, talks about Michal's obsession with the perfect sound. The contrast between Michael, inspired by his work, and a pedant with a great attention to detail, the counterpoint between the divine and the real, will be the leitmotiv of the whole film. We will capture his inner world full of contrasts, perfectionism, resolve and empathy and questions. It is because of such contrasts that Pavlíček could become such a significant personality of Czech rock culture as well as contemporary society.

The film traces the eighth generation of the family of puppeteers, Kopecký, through brothers Rosťa and Vítek Novák, in critical moments of their lives, starting with the year 2014 when they acquired their own theatre space – Jatka 78 – sparking the idea for their ambitious project with new circus ensemble Cirk La Putyka. The new circus is not merely a glittery show chock-full of spectacular artistry and acrobatics. Cirk La Putyka is not only an ensemble of free-thinking artists riding a wave of popularity among Prague’s intellectual elite. It is a dream come true – and not only for ringleader Rosťa Novák, but also his ancestors; it was namely his self-destructive resolve which, after eight generations of travelling artists, finally brought them what they always wanted - own theatre.

Mr. Jiri M. has a peculiar hobby.

In Holland lives the 48 years old Mitch., who does the same in grand style, as there is no wife to slow him down – with 106 children he got nicknamed ‘the most virile man in Europe’ by the media. The true insemination superpower is Denmark, where whole system stands and falls with anonymity. But even that has its pitfalls, and not only in the form of disease from an unknown donor as the infamous case of ‘Donor 7042’. What is the responsible way to create the future generations?
