- Synopsis:
- The film follows a fictitious, and fraudulent, ad campaign around the opening of a new store called Czech Dream - the Hypermarket for a Better Life. Ad agency BBDO get involved, Hugo Boss donate suits, Tesco products are re-branded and the city of Prague is covered with the Czech Dream logo through JC Decaux billboards, ads and pamphlets. There's even a catchy jingle broadcast nationally on radio and television. No one could have predicted what happened on May 31, 2003, when some 4000 people turned up in hopes of being the first through the door and getting the best deals in town on everything from toilet paper to white goods. What they really found was an open field with a huge shop facade.

Sold Short - Czech Dream review by griggs
Czech Dream has a cracking idea: invent a fake hyperstore and watch consumer culture sprint towards it. It’s funny, awkward, and sharp in places.
But once the stunt lands, the film doesn’t have much more to say — and its richest irony, post-communist consumers sprinting towards a billboard, is one it barely pauses to examine. A good provocation, rather than a great documentary.
