When Cows Fly (2019)
A young, full-time teacher at a primary school in Beroun with an inferiority complex about her body is promised to become attractive at a Prague burlesque course. She takes it as therapy not only for herself, but also for a troubled handicapped pupil with whom she has come into conflict. At the heart of the dispute with her father is the question of whether to hide or fight her problems. But no one is ready for nude "fat girls" and she loses her job, loved ones and reputation. Will she manage to prove to herself and others that fat does not mean disabled, or even not free.
