Synopsis
Three young Czech soldiers take the night train to Prague on their first leave. In their drunkenness they begin to hassle a couple of young Romanies in their compartment.

This antiracist drama won Best Director at the 2001 Columbia University festival, and a 2001 grant from the Miloš Forman Fund.
