Tacho

A black comedy by Mirjam Landa about a successful race car driver and the race of his life. Alex cannot imagine his life without rallying and subordinates everything to it. After an accident in which his co-driver is seriously injured, Alex's manager desperately searches for a replacement, as the date of the most important race of the season is fast approaching. Alex wants to race at all costs, despite his doctor's explicit prohibition. He has been racing for fifteen years, but has always missed out on the top spot by a hair's breadth. After a fateful encounter with a girl, he surprisingly decides that she, Lucie, completely inexperienced but determined to win, will ride with him as his co-driver in the race of his life.

Directed by Mirjam Landa, Tacho leans on a strong ensemble — Daniel Landa, Olga Lounová, Rudolf Hrušínský — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2010.
