TV Nova viewers can already look forward to a brand new series of the popular reality show Wife Exchange on Wednesday. This time, together with two families, they will be able to move from the Ostrava housing estate to a smaller town in Sweden and vice versa via television screens.
From Ostrava to Sweden
The first episode of the premiere series of the reality show The Exchange of Wives, which starts on TV Nova this Wednesday, January 3 at 8:20 p.m., will show viewers how the unemployed Simona, who sometimes raises up to five children, copes with life in the culturally completely different Sweden. At the same time, the audience will watch the story of Mirka, a Slovakian workaholic, who moves from the far north to join an eccentric and numerous Ostrava family in a local housing estate.
Thirty-four-year-old Mirka, who describes herself as a workaholic, works in a shopping center in the online shopping department, while her husband Honza (41) works in forestry. Together they have eight-year-old Tadeáš and seven-year-old Terezka, and they live in a family home just a short distance from the sea in the small Swedish town of Söråker. She met her husband, who has been living in Sweden since 2010, on the Internet. They both agree that they don’t have as much time for themselves as they would like due to children and work responsibilities, and the remote destination also limits them in terms of who from the extended family can help them with the children. In addition, according to her husband, Mirka is a little a perfectionist, and conflicts sometimes arise from that.
The family of thirty-nine-year-old Simona lives in an Ostrava housing estate in a 3+kk apartment. Simona was “at work” during the filming of Wife Swap, and her husband Michal, who is a year younger, works as a locksmith. They have known each other for ten years and got married two years ago. Together, they raise a six-year-old daughter, Šárka, and four children from previous relationships. In addition to Šárka, viewers will also get to know Simona’s sons Roman (15) and Sebastian (12). When the family is in full formation, it is very noisy at home. “The husband is very loud, like he really yells, he says dirty words here and there, he has no patience for anything, but otherwise he is a very nice guy,” Simon comments. Michal describes Simona as the “head of the household” and that she is “too soft” for the children. Simona has been struggling for a long time with the fact that her sons always have mobile phones in their hands and are sometimes gone for days at a time.
Challenging expedition
Simona is surprised by almost everything in her new environment near the Baltic Sea, at the same time the trip is very challenging for her, because she is going somewhere alone without children for the first time in her life. The cultural differences in education are also striking for herfor example the one when he learns from Honza that children are not allowed to bring anything sweet to school in Sweden, including juices and fruit drinks.
So far in Ostrava, Mirka is shocked by the fact that, while in Sweden they pay a lot of attention to having breakfast together, in Ostrava the family practically does not meet together, and if they do, then according to Michal, only they have breakfast with their wife and usually “coffee with a cigar”. The first critical situation then comes at the moment when Mirka discovers that six-year-old Šárka doesn’t have a bike helmet, which her father Michal glosses over by saying that’s fine because she doesn’t ride fast.
