Synopsis
CHILDREN OF STALINISM - Dasha decided to visit her birthplace. She does not recognize anything and anyone there – she left when she was 2 years. Despite the passage of time, the memories of the elderly local inhabitants are still not wretched… What does Dasha´s birthplace have in store for her?
After the decades, Dasha decided to visit her birthplace in the beautiful mountain region of Beskydy. Nothing is familiar to her there anymore. She had to leave when she was 2 years old. Her mum was imprisoned in 1949 for helping Mr.Vrba, a wounded anticommunist foreman. Her daddy had been chased by Members of State Secret Police until they finally run him down in the local deep forest where he was in hiding. Small Dasha was brought up by her grandparents in Ostrava, a big town far-away from her native village. Even though Dasha’s memory is wretched, that of local denizens and neighbours is much richer. What does Nový Hrozenkov have for Dasha to discover?
