DIR: Tomas Masin, 2009, 110 min., in Czech w/ English subtitles

Nineteen-year-old Ivan is the embodiment of the dreams and ideals of 1947. The self-satisfied and confrontational poet finds understanding with freethinking Jana, and together they experience the end of hope: After February 1948, the communist regime reveals its repressive side. Tomas Masin's debut feature is loosely inspired by the autobiography of leftist underground guru Egon Bondy. The film received the Czech Lion Award for Best Actor, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound.
