The Wedding of Nanynka Kulichová

Synopsis

The owner of a house, Myslíkovský, lives with his wife and daughters Amálka and Klotylda. The concierge Kulich lives with his wife and daughter Nanynka who is in love with the young teacher Jindřich Novák. When Jindřich is given a teaching position, he asks for Nanynka's hand in marriage. The wedding is the business of the whole house, especially Mr Dundr. The delightful Amálka is to be Nanynka's bridesmaid; Jindřich's best friend, the timid teacher Vejlupek is best man. Mrs Knedlhansová, a family friend, offers her flat for the wedding feast. During the festivities Klotylda receives her parents' blessing for her wedding to Mr Švabelšvanc and Mr Dundr offers his hand to the owner of a clothes factory where Nanynka works, Miss Pazderková. The festivities come to an end and the newly-weds go off to their new home.

Note

The original negatives were destroyed by a fire during the Prague Uprising in 1945. The new dupe-negative was created from a print discovered by accident, thus the film has a slightly different form. In the NFA is preserved a sound copy K-A 1502,0 m.
