After 15 years, Ludvík Jahn still hasn't overcome the consequences of a joke postcard with anti-state sentiments he sent his girlfriend in the 1950s; this led to his expulsion from university and mandatory service as a class enemy in a criminal military unit.

His "victory", however, has a strong bitter taste.

Score:
An uplifting story about finding sanity in the most unlikely of places. Sometimes what’s in your head isn’t as crazy as you think. That’s certainly true for Craig, a stressed-out teenager who checks himself into a mental health clinic for some time out. What he finds instead is an unlikely mentor, a potential new romance, and an opportunity to begin anew. Charming, witty and smart, it’s a coming-of-age story that’s kind of a funny story.
