Shameless (2008 Film)
''Shameless'' ( cz, Nestyda), is a 2008 Czech comedy film directed by Jan Hřebejk.

His first entanglement is with babysitter Kocicka (Eva Kerekéšová), a lean teenybopper who's more attached to her pet turtle than her older lover – at least until he accidentally smothers it in the dryer. Next in line is mature pop icon Nora (Emília Vášáryová), who's about to teach him a thing or two about freedom: the more peop ...
