The story of an exceptional filmmaker. In 1968, Czechoslovakian director Jiří Menzel won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for Closely Watched Trains – his first feature film ever. Just a year later, his next film Larks on a String is banned by the totalitarian government. But Menzel decided to stay in his communist country and continue working as a director and actor for theatre and film. His comedies and costume dramas were commercial successes that tested the limits of the authorities with his well hidden political messages.
