A young woman is in love with a successful surgeon; a man torn between his love for her and his womanising. His mistress,a free-spirited artist,lives her life as a series of betrayals; while her other lover stands to lose everything because of his noble qualities. In a world where lives are shaped by choices and events,and everything occurs but once,existence seems to lose its substance and weight - and we feel'the unbearable lightness of being'.
The Unbearable Lightness of Being encompasses passion and philosophy,infidelity and ideas,the Prague Spring and modern America,political acts and private desires,comedy and tragedy - in fact,all of human existence.
