Description
Wonderful Years That Sucked / Bajecna leta pod psa DVD
Synopsis
The story, well-known from the popular bestseller by M. Viewegh, is told with ironic detachment and exaggeration about the fate that the years of normalization brought to an ordinary family. How did it all begin? Helena and Aleš (brilliantly portrayed by L. Šafránková and O. Vetchý) have a son named Kvído. The circumstances of his birth during a performance of "Waiting for Godot" seem to foreshadow his future path. When Kvído is six years old, Russian tanks arrive, and the family moves into a pre-war villa by the Sázava River. However, they don't get the whole villa, just a part on a glazed terrace where it's as cold as a "doghouse." The communist director of the glassworks, Šperk, conditions the improvement of their situation on Aleš's public political engagement, which Aleš refuses. In the end, it is Kvído who saves the situation...
