Magdalena Dobromila Rettigová (1961)

The story takes us to Litomysl in 1836. The local bourgeoisie, who, as a proof of good manners and better origins, does not forget to include some German words in their conversation, slanders Mrs. Rettig. Rettig not only fights for the written Czech language, she is a patriot, but attracts young girls and students to her and lends them Czech books. She simply upsets 'the good old order'. The next sensation in the town is the announcement of a planned wedding. Miss Lenka is to marry old Dr. Plavec. When Mrs. Rettig hears about it, she invites both fiancés to her house, one by one. Indeed, the hunter Valenta, a former admirer of Lenka's who has been abroad with his master for a long time, asks her to help him win Lenka back.
