The Strange Afternoon of Dr. Burke

What is Dr. Burke willing to do to save his beloved beauty residence?

A dark comedy about near-murder, pastries, and a wedding.

Endless trays of Mrs. Outěchová's pastries, the resourceful suitor Václav Václav, the shy Tichý, almost-saintly Svatava – and above all, the aging bachelor Burke, who is at the end of his rope but refuses to give up.

Thus unfolds a touching "quixotic" struggle against an overwhelming force composed of a collection of human vices and bad qualities.
