A comedy about Miloš Hrmi (Václav Neckár), a young employee of the Czechoslovak railway at the end of World War II. However, instead of dramatic developments, he is more interested in how to lose his virginity to the conductor Masha (Jitka Bendová) with whom he is in love. However, for most other employees around him, their small human pleasures are more important than major historical events (his boss is interested in pigeons, and the train chargé d 'affaires are more interested in women). In his most famous film, Menzel creates a series of comic situations with an extraordinary sense of measure and graduation of humor, despite the fact that the end of the war will dramatically mark the fates of the characters. The film is characterized by excellent direction, a sense of rhythm, outstanding acting creations (especially the main character played by the pop singer), while connecting sex with the theme of national liberation is a very subversive quality of the film. With a Golden Globe nomination and a BAFTA nomination, the film was awarded an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Buy tickets at the Art-kino box office (opens every day an hour before the start of the first screening) or via CoreEvent.
