There is a classy speedwalker, there is a disabled beggar, there are saintly singers, there are free guns for everyone, there is an extremly heavy suitcase, there are cozy toilet stalls, there is an uncertain forecast, and it all has to make sense eventually, hasn’t it?

Ten years later, the people of Kamenákov are still stirring up trouble, including Pepa, who is now mayor and trying to establish a police force.

Kameňák 2, inspired again by well-known and less well-known stone jokes (director Zdeněk Tročko received an incredible sixty thousand of them from the audience!) directly follows the first part, which ends with the gushing of a blue erectile spring from the rock at the Kameňákov castle. The miraculous effect of the blue spring on potency causes an unprecedented uproar in the town, and even old Kropáčková experiences its beneficial power. However, as suddenly as the spring appeared, it also disappeared. But did it really disappear? And where? The insidious granny Kropáčková knows this best, who in the second part becomes a terror to the young men in the town. The disappearance of the blue spring of a lucrative business has not let even the local mafia sleep. All traces lead unmistakably to the Kropáčková house in the manor house...

Sebastian, Chief Archer in the Roman Army, converts to Christianity. A favorite of Emperor Augustus, Sebastian's devotion to Christ eventually drives him to reject the Emperor's love, causing the Emperor to angrily order Sebastian to be shot with arrows by his fellow archers. The film retells this mystery play with a definite 'art-house' approach: an almost poetical use of language, singing, dancing, some homoerotic themes, and some special effects.
