Plots(1)
Director Jan Němec's new film is the third in a loosely connected series of autobiographical stories. It's nighttime in Prague, August 21st 1968 – Soviet troops and tanks are occupying the city – random attacks, soldiers shooting, bodies lying dead on the sidewalk. With an impromptu crew, the director (Karel Roden) captures some unique evidence, a 16 minutes long documentary, material which is, however, worthless in occupied Prague – It has to be shown to the rest of the world. So, while, for propaganda purposes, the Soviets are concocting false reports of heartfelt receptions and military resistance, the director sets off on a risky trip across the closed Czech-Austrian border to Vienna. He is accompanied on this journey by the Italian Enrique and his Czech lover, Jana, the most beautiful woman in Prague. Girl Ferrari Dino. (Ostrava Kamera Oko)
