A young Albanian mountain-dweller ends up in Germany as an illegal immigrant. His dream is to make enough money in order to be able to marry his beloved Etleva. But the “European dream” he cherishes, now that he is stuck in a country with no friends, experience or knowledge of the language, soon turns into a nightmare. In his socio-critical drama, debuting director Johannes Naber envisages his native Germany as a world which has no place for integrity, morality or innocence, at least not for young illegal immigrants.

When a father and son from the Uzbek steppe move to Moscow in search of the boy’s missing mother they are condemned to the lot of the gastarbeiter. The film presents a record of the lifestyle and livelihood of people on the edge. Just as they don’t notice the intoxicating world of the metropolis, the heterogeneous environment doesn’t notice their painful solitude. They are merely goods on the rapacious work market.

Special Events
Devil in the Flesh

Director: Claude Autant-Lara

France, 1946, 110 min


5L4 - July 6, 2010, 19:30, Lazne III


The novel of Raymond Radiguet, telling a story of a forbidden love against the background of the First World War, created a wave of revulsion against the vilification of war and celebration of adultery when it was published in 1923. Its film adaptation, made in 1947 by director Claude Autant-Lara and starring young Micheline Presle and Gerard Philip, was perceived in a similar manner. We present the film, succinctly expressing the feelings of the generation growing up during the Second World War, in an honor of Micheline Presle who visits this year’s Festival as the representative of the competing film Hitler in Hollywood.

  The film will be shown with Czech subtitles for hearing impaired


Now in their thirties, the film’s six protagonists, who left northern Bohemia for Prague after graduating from high school, are taking stock of their lives. Is it too soon for a change? Or perhaps it’s too late because it’s hard to jump off a moving train. Jitka Rudolfová’s debut is a generational statement that perceives the relationship problems of today’s 30-somethings with understanding and ironic detachment.
