Description
This bitter comedy directed by Ondřej Trojan, based on Petr Šabach’s book of the same name, follows four teenage boys, their friends, loves and parents from the moment they receive their identity cards at fifteen until they try to avoid compulsory military service at eighteen by obtaining a medical exemption. Petr, Aleš, Popelka and Míťa grow up in the 1970s, when going out without an identity card could mean serious trouble and military service was a major source of fear. Together and individually, they try to keep their sanity and sense of humour in a totalitarian state without compromising themselves to the regime. Their experiences range from amusing episodes with touches of absurdist grotesque to dramatic and fateful events. The film portrays the unusual period when childhood gradually turns into adulthood, a journey that involves rejecting conformity and parental ideals, rebelling against society, and searching for and discovering self-respect.
