Kuschelnester is a Czech tragic comedy from 1999. The historical film set during the Prague Spring is a literary adaptation of Petr Šabach's novel Hovno hoří .

action

The Kraus and Šebek families lived in a Prague villa in 1967. While the Šebek family are staunch socialists and believe that superior communist technology will soon defeat imperialist capitalism, the Kraus family, especially the father, are war veterans and staunch capitalists who believe that communism will soon come to an end. As divided and politicized as the parents are, the two children have no interest in politics. Michael is secretly in love with Jindřiška Krausová. The two families are reconciled as soon as Mr. Kraus and Mrs. Sebek's sister get married shortly before the Soviet invasion to put down the Prague Spring .

criticism

“The tragic comedy focuses the historical development in Czechoslovakia at the end of the 1960s on the social tensions in the country. Based on the fate and the everyday experiences of the family members, he makes it clear that apolitical cuddle nests can only be cloud cuckoo homes. "
