Pavek and Otik are, respectively, a truck driver and his assistant, both employed at the local collective farm. Otik is a mentally-challenged young man who is barely able to take care of himself. Pavek is his supervisor, a cranky but essentially good-hearted fellow who is constantly exasperated by his partner's bumbling. Otik, for his part, pretty much hero-worships his burly boss, going so far as to make sure that he and Pavek are in step as they march off to work.One day Otik's bumbling goes a little too far and he winds up causing Pavek to back the truck right into a concrete pillar at the summer house of a rich city-slicker. Pavek, fed up, tells Kalina (head of the collective farm) that after they are done with the harvest, he will no longer be Otik's supervisor/guardian. Soon after this, Kalina gets a letter from headquarters of a company based in Prague saying that Otik has been given a job and an apartment in the capital. Everyone is puzzled why the company and their executives would show such an interest in one mentally disabled country bumpkin, until they figure out the reason: Otik's quaint large house where he lives alone after inheriting it from his parents.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Other plot threads include the town doctor, Dr. Skružný, a genial fellow but an awful awful driver who keeps crashing cars; a neglected wife who cheats on her jealous and abusive husband with the collective farm's veterinarian; and Pavek's teenaged son Jarda, who develops a major crush on a lovely schoolteacher.

 Big Guy, Little Guy: Awkward, gangly Otik and short, barrel-shaped Pavek. The hero worship that Otik has for his friend/supervisor just makes it funnier.
