Nothing Against Nothing (2011): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2011, Nothing Against Nothing is a comedy film directed by Petr Marek, running about 98 minutes.

What it’s about. Young married couple Radek and Johana are considering adoption. In order to weigh up the possible risks, they gatecrash a meeting of their contemporaries who grew up in adoptive families and contacted each other via internet chat rooms. A group of thirty-somethings get together at a campsite for a few days in order to set up an association in support of adoption. Despite their shared fate and "noble” intentions, the members of this small community don’t hit it off. Where does pretentious tolerance end and buck-passing indifference begin? And what has decent morality got in common with xenophobia? As an ironic reflection that questions how prepared we should be to help each other out, the film offers a sophisticated and poetic take on the grimly authentic style of the Dogme 95 Manifesto. This satirical comedy was the result of collaboration with the LÁHOR/Soundsystem theatre group, which focuses on realistic collective stage improvisation within the structure of a predetermined story.

Who’s in it. Nothing Against Nothing stars Johana Ožvold as Johana, Radek Rubáš as Radek, Marian Moštík as Marian and Kamila Davidová as Kamila, among others.
