The hard-working head of the farm machinery maintenance crew, Lawrence, is always in control. He knows how to keep everyone around him busy, and he loves to meddle in the affairs of other members of his large family. Above all, he has high hopes for his promising daughter Štěpánka. He wants her to become a college student. But everything gets complicated when the girl falls in love with Tomas from the neighbouring village. One of Vavřince's latest excesses is to prepare a wedding that he doesn't know is no longer necessary.
Directed by Zdeněk Míka, Tchán leans on a strong ensemble — Josef Bláha, Libuše Havelková, Vlastimil Brodský — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
