Saturnin je sluha, který se stane pánem svého pána. Mladý muž dobrého společenského postavení a vychování, trochu konzervativní, získá, ne vlastní vinou, sluhu Saturnina. Ten se de facto stane pánem svého zaměstnavatele a způsobí v jeho dosud poklidném životě řadu překvapivých zvratů a situací. Ty by se bez Saturnina daly těžko zvládnout. Už proto ne, že by bez něj pravděpodobně nikdy nenastaly. Saturnin je v Čechách pojmem již několik generací. V roce 1942 napsal spisovatel a novinář Zdeněk Jirotka (1911 až 2003) knížku s tímto názvem a od té doby byla vydána dvanáctkrát. Čtenáři ji milují pro její suchý humor, ne nepodobný "anglickému", množství parodií a nadsázky a zejména pro absurdní situace, do kterých uvádí svérázný sluha Saturnin celé své okolí.

Of Parents and Children
Komedie O rodičích a dětech chce navázat na nejlepší tradice české filmové komedie. Vtipné dialogy, výjimečné herecké výkony a humor spojující diváky napříč generacemi. Příběh filmu vychází ze zdánlivě banální situace. Syn (David Novotný) jde na procházku se svým otcem (Josef Somr)... Syn je zralý čtyřicátník a žije spokojeně se svou přítelkyní. Otci je přes sedmdesát. Je bývalý vědec-biolog. Klasický intelektuál v dobrém slova smyslu. Zdánlivě jediné, co tyto dva muže spojuje, je to, že se jdou jednou za měsíc společně projít Prahou. Nicméně jsou svázáni poutem čtyřiceti let společného života. V brilantně vedeném dialogu se před námi odkrývají dějiny dvacátého století a všechny absurdity s ním spojené. Odhalují se ta nejhlubší místa lidských vztahů. Odtajňují se staré resty, trápení a radosti. Na scéně se objeví Vnuk, o kterém Syn neměl přes dvacet let ani tušení. A některé chyby se opakují znovu a znovu.
