description

From Karel Kachyňa, director of Coach to Vienna and The Ear, this landmark film views the end of WWII through the eyes of 12-year-old Olda as he witnesses the retreat of the German Army and the arrival of Soviet liberation forces in 1945 rural Czechoslovakia.

With this film, Kachyňa established his lyrical reputation, combining poetic and dreamlike evocations of the boys’ inner fantasy world with the harsh reality of the war’s final days, of his brutal home life, rivalries with other boys, and the grim realities to come under Soviet rule.
