Bony a klid is a Czech drama film directed by Vít Olmer. It was released in 1987.
Plot
In the film, which takes place in Prague, a young man from Mladá Boleslav, Martin (Jan Potměšil) becomes a victim of a fraud by Richard (Josef Nedorost), a money dealer (trading foreign currencies was illegal in Czechoslovakia during the socialist era). Because he wants his money back, he attempts to track Richard down and eventually joins his gang, consisting of Hary (Tomáš Hanák), Bíny (Roman Skamene) and Slepejš (Miloslav Kopečný). He quickly adapts to the environment of big money, debaucherous parties, prostitutes, and police raids. Bíny betrays one of their deals to a rival gang, lead by Karel (František Švihlík), and they find themselves on the run from the police. They attempt to seek shelter in Mladá Boleslav, but are eventually found and during the chase, Hary falls to his death from a balcony. The gang appears in court and is sentenced to serve jail time. It is strongly suggested that Karel has an influence over the judge.
