?

             A doctor, a divorcee, and a womanizer, Tomas feared and desired women that he kept erotic friendships to exclude love from his life. He abided by the "rule of threes": seeing a woman in three consecutive times, or maintaining relationships over the years but making sure that rendezvous are three weeks apart." If Tomas violates this, his mistresses would assume inferior status and demand more from him.
             Tomas is an insomniac who could not sleep beside another person. After making love with one of his mistresses, he would bring her back home (if they were at Tomas' flat) or he would go back home (if they were in the mistress' home).
             A waitress in a hotel restaurant in a small Czech town. Tereza came to Prague to escape her mother's world. Her mother was beautiful and a lot of men courted her. Consequently, she was impregnated by the most "manly" of her suitors.
             She eventually regretted this because the man turned out to by a lazy sloth. She blamed Tereza for this.
             Tereza always thought that her body was special and that that is not the same for anybody else's body. Hence, there is no duality of soul and body (soul and body can never be separated). However, her mother thought otherwise. Her mother thought that each and every "body" is the same.
