Homolkáék az uborkafán

The Homolka family celebrates a great occasion: they were finally able to buy a car. They immediately begin to drive for small trips to Hradčany, to the airport, and plan further trips. Their euphoria is spoiled by a letter from their great-grandmother. Their great-grandfather is dying and the family is expected to come along to say goodbye. The annoyed Homolkas therefore set off to the South Bohemian village where the grandparents live. Their bad mood does not improve upon their arrival to the village house - early in the morning, the grand-grandfather went for a walk to the forest and then to visit a competition of hunting terriers. The grand-grandmother did not reckon with their arrival and has no food to offer. The Homolkas bring at least some sausages and beer from the local pub while the grand-grandfather enjoys the hunter's celebration. He starts drinking and does not want to die at all any more. The Prague Homolkas say goodbye to their great-grandmother and return home. On the way, they drop by a pond where the grandmother fell in as a child and this time would almost drown again. When the rest of the family tries to save her, they all fall into the water. The great-grandfather is happily returning from the celebration and dies from a stroke on a forest path. The Homolkas succumb to the atmosphere of the beautiful summer day and cheerfully shed their clothes and jump into the water. It is as if the pleasantly cool water has washed away all the banality of their lives. At the same time, we can see the car with the dead grand-grandfather driving alongside the dike of the pond.
