Jan Svěrák (Kolya, Dark Blue World) returns with a prequel to his Oscar-nominated The Elementary School; it portrays life during WWII as seen through the eyes of eight-year-old Eda (ball-of-energy Alois Grec), a city boy exiled to the countryside. For Eda, this new life is one big adventure… "An able touch of sardonic East European humour keeps things smart and light… [The film] describes the experience of war from a bold, unfamiliar perspective: through the eyes of innocents."—Hollywood Reporter
