A retro-comedy evoking the Sixties, inspired by filmmakers' memories and the book by Petr Šabach. The film is set between Christmas 1967 and the occupation of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet forces in 1968. The generation disputes of two families, a former Western rebel and an officer from Czechoslovak socialist army are coloured by political events, and therefore two young protagonists Michal and Jindřiška have a tough time with their inflexible fathers.
IMDB - 8 wins
A beautifully understated story of ordinary people living their everyday lives through the trying times of Christmas '67 and the Prague Spring during the run up to the Soviet invasion. While the setting has be caught with stark and depressing realism, the film is perfectly balanced with a gently comic and bittersweet observation of the families and their relationships as they struggle through events from the mundane to the tragic. Personal loss, both of freedom and of loved ones, and the way life still manages to go on has been captured with deceptive ease and without resorting to the usual cliches and predictable attempts at closure that so often seem to pollute western cinema of this type.
