Když se zhasne

What happens when the light goes out and the certainties disappear? When the lights go out tells the story of relationships, secrets and decisions that come in moments of silence and darkness. An intimate atmosphere, strong emotions and the question of whether we have the courage to face the truth.

Nina is an ambitious chef who is about to open her own restaurant, Richard is a sought-after gynaecologist. They were once a happy couple, but after years of marriage they find themselves in a complicated relationship situation - neither can stand the other. Only one thing separates them from divorce, a contract that they once wrote on a paper napkin in a drunken stupor, in which they agreed that whoever causes the end of the relationship will not get a single penny of their joint property. In desperation, Richard asks his friend Chenda, who is married to their mutual friend Alena, to seduce Nina at the opening of her new business. But she finds out and plans revenge. Infidelity for infidelity! And so the gala evening is full of confusion, comic situations and gastronomic surprises.
