The story so far
Everything you need before watchingKralik visits the ailing Novak and begins with the careful warmth of a shop manager checking on his employee. A letter has lifted her spirits, but it also brings last night's café misunderstanding back into the room. Their conversation turns into a witty comparison of two men—and, naturally, a sales pitch for a Christmas gift.
