If you live in middle Europe this movie is a must-see. It is much better than the advertising trailers might suggest. Both main characters love the same actress for a short time during the Prague Spring of 68 and the knock down by the armies of the Warsaw Pact. And although they are rivaling lovers, after the invasion of Prague they work together to show to the world the truth of the political interference by Russia. Furthermore Novotny shows the trivial methods of the communists to stay in power by corrupting other people with capitalistic (money) methods. The acting of Krystof Hadek and Johannes Zeiler is brilliant. The filmmaking by director Novotny is likable old-fashioned and fits perfect to tell the story very focused and incisive. Go and see it! Highly recommended.
