It’s the late 1950s, Czechoslovakia is under communism’s sway and a yawning chasm has opened between the prewar and postwar generations. Surviving occupation is one thing; parenthood is a far more daunting prospect. With kids wanting to live—and love—like there’s no tomorrow and parents intent on orchestrating perfect matches and promising futures, the stage is set for a winning romantic tragicomedy… Jan Hřebejk’s film pulses with the sort of youthful energy that fueled the Czech New Wave.
