Saga su opportunismo, identità, denaro e sesso. Un adattamento cinematografico di un altro romanzo dell'autore Bohumil Hrabal, che ha scritto i libri con cui Menzel ha diretto i suoi grandi film: le scale metalliche e ferroviarie sono ben conservate. Qui ritorna negli anni '30 e descrive l'ascesa di un aspirante cameriere di nome Jan, il cui grande sogno è diventare un ricco albergatore come un uomo calvo. Usando l'umorismo satirico, Jan viene raffigurato mentre si fa strada tra i ranghi, sfregandosi con vari capi. Quando i tedeschi entrano in scena, è in contatto con Grofit di Hitler che non lo sposerà finché non dimostrerà che il suo sangue è ariano!
