The unbearable lightness of being

The Prague surgeon Tomas, who desires and simultaneously fears women, an erotomaniac who celebrated his divorce like a wedding and then avoided love, breaks some of his principles for the waitress Teresa. However, he continues his erotic friendships, such as the one with the painter Sabina. Teresa leaves him in Zurich, where the two, now married, have settled after the Russian invasion of Prague. She returns to her homeland, and he follows her, losing his job and working as a window cleaner, later as a truck driver in a village far from Prague. Their happiness ends in catastrophe - Tomas and Teresa die in a car accident after a dance evening. The novel "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" brought Milan Kundera international acclaim.
