Released in 2010, The Greatest Czechs is a comedy film directed by Robert Sedláček, running about 99 minutes.

What it’s about. Film crew on the road: Director (Jaroslav Plesl), his Producer (Simona Babcáková), and their Director of Photography (Jirí Vyorálek) and Sound Arist (Johana Svarcova). Starving artists who already have a number of films to their names, Czech Lion award-winning films, excellent reviews and have been screened at numerous festivals, but they don't have audiences. Their next collaborative effort - the Director's lifetime dream - is quickly becoming oblivion because he failed to win a grant, which means it won't be made. And so the frustrated Director and his colleagues await their chance among record-holders of curious disciplines such as crawling with a squash racket or collecting four-leaf clovers. How will the collision of these two worlds end? What will the Director's next film be about?

Who’s in it. The Greatest Czechs stars Jaroslav Plesl as režisér, Simona Babčáková as producentka, Jiří Vyorálek as kameraman and Jana Janěková as vazačova žena, among others.
