Im weißen Rößl Synopsis
Several guests arrive during high season at the Weissen Rössl (White Horse) Inn, a picturesque Austrian inn by a lake. Josefa, the landlady, is particularly pleased to see one of them again, lawyer Dr. Siedler. Her chief waiter Leopold is unhappy about this because he has unrequited love for her. Dr. Siedler is more interested in businessman Giesecke's daughter Ottilie, but one of Siedler's clients has a legal fight with Giesecke. On top of all this, a telegram arrives announcing the arrival of Fürst, which is a nobility title in Germany, and the entire village prepares to give him a proper reception.
Dobrý voják Svejk Synopsis
Svejk is a dog trader Prague. He is charged for lèse-majesté, "injured majesty" and is supposed to be jailed. But the court finds him to be dim-witted, and he is committed to a mental asylum. There, the doctors examine his physical and mental status. When one of the physicians accuses Svejk of being a simulator, Svejk assures him that he is an officially approved imbecile poking fun at the trappings of empire and the absurdity of war, as Svejk personifies the power of passive resistance.
"Dobrý voják Svejk" is currently leading in ratings, making it a stronger choice for newcomers to the genre.
