Jára da Cimrman is een (fictief) veelzijdig genie die voor de Eerste Wereldoorlog in allerlei takken van de wetenschap en de kunst uitblonk. Zijn vindingen en raadgevingen worden echter niet altijd evenveel op hun waarde geschat. In deze film geeft Cimrman onder meer het advies aan Anton Tsjechov om diens boek ‘De Drie Zusters’ te noemen in plaats van ‘De Twee Zusters’. Ook helpt hij Gustav Eiffel bij het ontwerpen van de Eiffeltoren en geeft hij Johann Strauss en zelfs keizer Franz-Joseph I adviezen.
Nee, helaas is Jára Cimrman ležící, spící nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
