Hřbitov pro cizince (1991)
Directed by Jaroslav Dudek
Overview
A tragicomic story from a tragicomic time - this is how one could characterize Jiří Hubac’s play, which premiered in May 1991. The drama of two friends who fought in England as Czech airmen during the war and had to live through the well-known martyrdom after returning home is a story about the power of friendship, the courage to transcend oneself in the face of violence and the right to preserve human memory. The television film by director Jaroslav Dudek, who cast Jiří Bartoska and Josef Dvořák in the lead roles, was honoured with the prestigious Prix Europe international award in Reykjavik.
