About Tchyně
This satirical micro-comedy condemns the petty bourgeois mentality, especially bragging. The ridiculous protagonists are two elderly neighbours who are constantly exaggerating the wealth and status of their now grown-up children, who have to submit to their whims - for example, they have to borrow a car to look quite affluent...
Directed by Jaroslav Mach, Tchyně leans on a strong ensemble — Jiřina Šejbalová, Ivo Palec, Gabriela Vránová — 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 1963.
