first i have to admit that i have have some doubt about the director . he have do some movie ( with jarkovsky ) about the recent czech equal east history or more precisely about family ( individual ) how do they survive some historical moment . but it be always like the chine food sour sweet . this movie be totally different . it be pure and it show the bone of life and it show the variation of human nature . this film be an excellent piece of art ( story and acting and picture and music ) but it show you the life around you in much brighter light that we do not want to see . by the way i have saw it on a dvd ( with english subtitle ) but i be afraid that in the usa i wont be able to get it .
