Reconstruction of Occupation

For 30 years, director Jan Šikl has collected amateur films from families in his community. Then one day, he is brought archival materials - stock shot by Czech military cameramen, which remained hidden for over half a century. Jan accomplishes what seems impossible. He searches for the people immortalized on film - soldiers, students, and workers. Memories of specific events are vividly brought back to life, portraying history and its relevance to the present.
