This film is lovely:

First of all, because it is a Czech film.

It is about a musician man seeking to avoid commitment enters into a green card marriage (it has been one of my dreams to do green card marriages as a job) and ends up saddled with the woman's little boy.

Secondly, because the little boy is the cutest little boy. They man and the little boy don't speak the same language, but they become very close.

Thirdly, the film deals with love and home and leaving--the musician stays in Czechoslovakia, although he could have left when he was traveling with the symphony. He buys his family home and takes care of his mother. His brother, on the other hand, has fled the country. The musician flees his apartment in order to hide and keep the little boy--an act of love and of rebellion. At the end, we see the Velvet Revolution.
