Description
The Last Aristocrat / Posledni aristokratka DVD
Synopsis
Native New Yorker Frank (Hynek Čermák), thanks to his noble ancestors, inherits the ancient family estate - Kostka Castle. As a descendant of immigrants, he prepares to return to the Czech Republic after more than forty years, accompanied by his daughter Marie (Yvona Stolařová) and spirited wife Vivien (Tatiana Vilhelmová). The fresh aristocrats are unfamiliar with local customs and untouched by Czech reality; they know of their former homeland and castle life only from ancient tales told by relatives. Matters concerning the property's restitution are handled by their legal representative, Benda (Vojtěch Kotek). Upon arrival, the family discovers that the castle is in a state of gradual decay, isolated from all social activity. The only permanent residents of Kostka are the nostalgic steward Josef (Martin Pechlát), resilient housekeeper Mrs. Tichá (Eliška Balzerová), and hypochondriac maintenance man Krása (Pavel Liška). While the inhabitants of Kostka slowly awaken from the lethargy of the post-revolutionary 1990s, the Kostka family faces a difficult choice: whether to sell the ancestral estate, built over generations, and return to America, or attempt to save Kostka Castle. The film is based on the eponymous book by Evžen Boček.
