Synopsis
A sour little Czech village fails miserably but nobly at capitalism in the subversive social comedy Small Town. Helming debut from popular thesp Jan Kraus (Seducer) is a cockeyed valentine to the kind of resolute pluckiness in the face of adversity that is a hallmark of Czech culture and cinema. After 1989´s Velvet Revolution, the winds of change blow fast and free in the small town of Mestecko (which means "small town"). Everyone, it seems, has a get-rich-quick scheme that just can´t fail. Yet one by one, their dreams are shattered: it seems the free market economy isn´t as malleable as party functionaries. Kraus modelled many of the characters on people he knows, and the largely no-name cast is assembled from regional theater thesps.
