In this Czech romantic comedy, a comely country lass is hitching towards Prague when she is picked up by two German brutes who harm her and leave her for dead in the woods. She then joins a band of prostitutes and decides to become one herself. She finds a pimp with Milan, the much-abused assistant of local mob boss Spider. Milan loans her money to get started and she promises to repay him. Luckily, her first client is a handsome mounted policeman who falls in love with her. -- Sandra Brennan
