Successful surgeon Tomas leaves Prague for an operation, meets a young photographer named Tereza, and brings her back with him. Tereza is surprised to learn that Tomas is already having an affair with the bohemian Sabina, but when the Soviet invasion occurs, all three flee to Switzerland. Sabina begins an affair, Tom continues womanizing, and Tereza, disgusted, returns to Czechoslovakia. Realizing his mistake, Tomas decides to chase after her.

One of Pavel's farm workers dislocates his shoulder and Tomas pulls it back into place. Not graphic, but lots of yelling in pain. It's a brief scene, not too intense.

A man's fatal flaw is that he cannot stop cheating on his wife. She is aware and it makes her upset, but she tolerates it for their marriage.

A different man cheats on his wife, and eventually leaves her for his mistress.

A woman cheats on her husband with a man she just met, but does not seem to enjoy it.

A woman invites a service provider in and undresses for him. Sex is implied.
