Člověk proti zkáze

This mosaic-like biographic drama about the final years of internationally respected Czech writer Karel Čapek was made shortly before the revolution in 1989. In their retro­spective, the filmmakers revisit the milestones in the life of the writer - and of the Czech nation. They contemplate the principles of democracy, the position of intellectuals in the society, and Czech national character. (Summer Film School)
