A great film plus an important lesson in history, 4 January 2000
Author: Kevin C. Chang

This film traces the life of a Prague family starting in the dark years of communism (late 60s) through to the velvet revolution in 1989. The father, played by Ondrej Vetchý, was an economic reformist who had to banish himself and whole family to the countryside in fear of persecution by the communist regime. Ondrej Vetchý's performance was superb throughout, as we trace his idealistic struggles with the communist bureaucracy.

Wonderful performances by Libuse Safránková as the mother and Jakub Wehrenberg as son Kvido make this film a great insight into life in Eastern Europe during the era when streets were often filled by Russian tanks and soldiers.
