Summary: | This half comedy, half fairy tale about a woman itching to marry, told through preposterously exaggerated interpretations of her personal experiences, falls back on the performances of the actors starring in the two main roles. Beautiful, kind and understanding She (Jiřina Bohdalová) wants to marry at any cost. Ugly, arrogant and ever-hungry He (Vladimír Menšík) is in fact only interested in her culinary skills. She does not, however, give up, even when Mr. Devil turns out to be a real devil because, "Truth be told, ladies, better the Abominable Snowman - yes, even him! - than no man." This visually refined feminist film about one variant of a relationship between a man and a woman is the directorial debut and concurrently the only feature film by screenwriter and artist Ester Krumbachová. - http://www.febiofest.cz.
