In this light comedic hyperbole we watch the story of decent and kind doctor Čeněk Dobešek who, however, almost does not fit the today´s world. Despite being a conscientious doctor, he cannot use his job or mission for his own benefit like other his colleagues from school or from the hospital. Satisfied with his life next to his nice wife Zuzana and, unfortunately, also next to his horrid mother-in-law Marie Košvancová in a 2+1 apartment in a block of flats, he gladly, at any time, meets wishes of all who ring his bell and request his services. With his submissive modesty and willingness he tempests his mother-in-law, who would like her son-in-law to be a doctor with capital D, i.e. someone, who is first of all a recognized person earning huge money. Not serving to everyone for free like Čeněk does. (official distributor synopsis)
