- Synopsis:
- Banned by the Soviets for almost 20 years, this major contribution to world cinema...During the Prague Spring, that brief flowering of freedom that preceded the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, Vojtech Jasny directed this impassioned account his country's tragic relationship with the Soviet Union. Set in a small Moravian village, the story follows the lives of several characters from the era of Czech independence after WWII to the communism of the late 1960s?that is, from an idyllic rural community to a depressing agricultural collective. Small wonder that communist authorities banned the film and ordered all prints confiscated.
