Praha

Summary

Praha - Stage of the Unexplainable

Within the perspective of the upcoming addition of middle European countries to the European Union, the film offers unique insight into the soul and culture of Germany′s Czech neighbors.

The most important representatives of Czech culture from the so-called Generation of ′68 reflect on the meaning of life and about their existence, offering personal experiences and fates that have, until now, been hidden from the public eye: Otomar Krejca and Josef Svoboda, two of the most important personalities in 20th century European theater; the OSCAR-winner Jirí Menzel; the deceased specialist in German Studies, Eduard Goldstuecker, who greatly influenced the Spring of Prague; the painter Andrej Belocvetov; the legendary pantomime and comedian Bolek Polivka; and Vladimir Franz, one of the most important contemporary composers and painters in the Czech Republic.
In the course of the conversations, an intimate and sensitive dialog develops about the essence of life that guides our destiny and decisions. Eternal truths and worldly wisdoms come to light in a seldom-seen spontaneous form.
