Plots(1)
The life of writer Jaroslav Hašek between the years 1914 and 1920 as a comedy. This Soviet-Czechoslovakian coproduction reconstructs the possible scenario of how the war reality contributed to Hašek's book The Good Soldier Švejk and how the writer himself evolved from an anti-Austrian anarchist and bohemian into a deserter to the Bolsheviks and Red-Army commissar.
