The Apple Game is a sex-comedy focusing on the social, and psychological definitions of the male-female relationship and is amongst the most conventional narrative films of Věra Chytilová works.
 Anna is a nurse who sleeps with a playboy gynecologist. Her fantasy world falls apart when she finds out that he is having an affair with a colleague’s wife. However, when he discovers that Anna is pregnant, he proposes to her, but she refuses deciding to become a single mother.
 Despite its conventional narrative, the film shocks the audience through its visual expressions like a typical Chytilova film. The rapid montage sequences that juxtapose images of a red apple and the bloody head of a new-born baby not only gives way to shocking aesthetics, but also opens a door to critical thinking on the old issues of human desire and the nature of female-male relationship.
 The film deploys its story around issues such as love-sex relations, the significance of marriage and childbirth, and contrasts a life of femininity pursuing passionate, innocent jouissance that often ends at the bliss of life creation, to a life of masculinity controlled by competition and rationale in goal-oriented procedure where life is only regarded as an object of human techniques. The Apple Game deconstructs the mythical abstraction of love and raises a question on the ethics of love by focusing on ‘pregnancy and childbirth’- the film’s main motifs are the instinctive, physical and reproductive definitions of love.
