The master visual poet Frantisek Vlacil created this emotional film of doomed love set after the wartime liberation of Czechoslovakia in 1945. A returning airman is assigned to manage a manor once owner by a German family. There he is attracted to the daughter of a war criminal who is now reduced to servant status in the estate. But history works against them and he is caught between his love for the girl and his patriotic duty. It won Vlacil the Career Award at the Pilsen Festival.

Admission is Free.
