S Pydlou v zádech

A lonely and eccentric librarian, Mr. Pydlou, takes his beloved pet snake, Aspi, everywhere with him. His unconventional lifestyle clashes with the rigid social norms and expectations of his small town. When a new, ambitious teacher arrives, she attempts to modernize the town and rid it of what she considers outdated or strange elements, including Mr. Pydlou and Aspi. This leads to a humorous and often absurd series of conflicts as the townspeople grapple with change and tradition.
