Hop nebo trop

The story of a group of thirty-somethings who are too old for juvenile games and seemingly too young to enter the adult world.After her divorce, Bára Dušková must work and take care of her kids alone. Ten-year-old Ondráš has little affection for P.E. or, for that matter, any other activity involving movement, and his older sister Marcelka is in the throes of adolescent insolence. So Bára decides that the kids need to get involved in sports. In the first episode, she signs them up for a ski camp offered at her work and organized by a colleague, an architect named Mikuláš. She herself wants to go along to prevent Mikuláš from being too hard on them, so she signs up as the trips nurse. A group of Mikuláš friends decide to sleep at the company cabin (without paying) and Bára unexpectedly and against her will gets embroiled in their affairs. At first her maturity and responsibility drive them crazy but eventually the group accepts her. Bára and her kids then spend many exceptionally pleasant days in their company.
