A young woman is in love with a successful surgeon: a man torn between his love for her and his dalliances. His mistress, a free artist, lives her life through a series of betrayals, while her other beloved is in danger of losing everything due to his noble characteristics. In a world where lives are shaped by choices and events, and everything happens only once, existence seems to lose its essence and weight - and we feel 'the unbearable lightness of being'.

Kundera's classic work challenged an entire generation, encompassing passion and philosophy, body and soul, the Prague Spring and modern America, political acts and private desires, comedy and tragedy - in fact, all of human existence.
