Very interesting and intimate depiction of living through turbulent times. In this case during the communist coup in the Czechoslovakia. Some people are victoriously celebrating. Some are planning to emigrate. There are hippocrites turning their coats and following the new order. However, the story is centered around ordinary people not inclining to either side. They just want to live their lives. But is it possible when the society is so divided? You're either with us, or against us - they say...
If you have lived through any change of regime or perhaps a coup, you will find the situations and dilemmas very familiar. If not, you can ask yourself - what would I do if I were there?
