Anděl Páně 2 (An Angel of the Lord 2) — The Angel Petronel is still working at Heaven's Gate, but is confident that he deserves a better position. His eternal tempter, the devil Urias, begins to tempt Petronel. All one has to do to know all that only God knows is pick an apple from the Tree of Knowledge, and the path to well-deserved recognition will be clear. Petronel’s argument with Uriáš over the Poznan apple ends catastrophically; in the skirmish, the rare fruit rolls down to Earth. The confused angel and his friend, the devil-tempter, must rush to the human world to find and bring back the apple of Knowledge.

On the eve of St. Nicholas, they become entangled in a wondrous tale. They meet little Anežka and her beautiful mother Magdalena, a bunch of dishonest carolers, the ghost Košťál and the sympathetic Párkará. Before they manage to find the apple and return it to where it belongs, they will have to endure a great adventure and go through several dangerous situations. After a series of human and "divine" tests, our heroes finally discover that the path to knowledge leads primarily through oneself, through the discovery of the power of friendship, love, and the ability to forgive.

The dialogue is in Czech with English subtitles.
