The hero Thomas is a surgeon. Because of the failure of marriage, he seems to be both eager and afraid of women, and he has created a set of rules in his mind to wander among many mistresses. But one day, he actually fell in love with a waitress, Teresa, and even married her, but all this ran counter to his own practice of "drinking and drinking", and he still chose to shuttle among many mistresses.
Obviously, this is a great harm to Teresa. At this time, the political situation in the Czech Republic was turbulent, so they chose to leave the motherland and live in a stable place. However, in the face of such a strange environment, Teresa was angry and returned to the Czech Republic.
The fate of everything arranged for Thomas to go back to find her, and then they realized that being together was the happiest, but this happiness turned into torture and sadness, which was a heavy burden in life.
Sabina was a painter and one of Thomas' many mistresses. She has been betraying all her life and has chosen a lifestyle without heavy burden. She doesn't like worldly flattery, so she has been betraying, but this kind of life makes her feel that life is nothing.
After being betrayed by her, her lover Franz found it ridiculous to insist on marriage. His wife is only a reflection of his mother's ideal. Later, he fell in love with his students, but in a sudden robbery, he was hit hard by resistance and finally died with his wife.

The classic quotation "Unbearable Lightness in Life";
1. What crushed her was not the weight, but the unbearable lightness of life.
On the surface, there is an obvious lie, but behind it is a hidden truth.
The heavier the burden, the closer our life is to the earth and the more real it is.
In the eternal world, every move bears an unbearable burden of responsibility.
In this world, everything is forgiven in advance, and everything is despicable.
6. When the burden is completely gone, people will become lighter than air, will float away from the earth and become semi-real beings.
7. The basic point on which this world depends is that there is no return. Because in this world, everything is forgiven in advance and everything is ridiculous and allowed.
