One Family

One Family (Season 1 and 2)

Comedy / Family
Czech Republic, 2022-2023

Five parents, five children, three households — together they make up One Family. Sounds chaotic? At first glance, maybe — but it’s not as complicated as it seems. Let’s break down who belongs to whom and how all these relationships in this big crew fit together!

Relationships can get pretty tangled. The lives of five adults and five children in One Family came together more or less by chance. But now, the most important thing for everyone is that the children are happy and content. So, how did the families get rearranged, and who belongs with whom?

The Adults — In a Nutshell
It all started with Filip. He had an affair with Norika, who got pregnant by him. That’s why Filip left his wife Petra. Petra began to grow fond of Karel, who then left his wife Klára because of her. And Klára? For now, she’s the only one who’s still single.

The Kids — In a Nutshell
Johan and Eliška are the children of Klára and Karel. Filip and Petra have Martina and Vašek together. And now Filip also has a third child — the youngest, Mikeš — with Norika.
