Universum Brdečka

Directing: Miroslav Janek

Synopsis

The film celebrates the 100th anniversary of the birth of Jiří Brdečka, a filmmaker who is lodged in the public consciousness as the author of the immortal Czech comedies Lemonade Joe (Limonádový Joe), Dinner for Adele (Adéla ještě nevečeřela) and The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians (Tajemný hrad v Karpatech). The document tells the story of Jiří Brdečka and his friends - people who confronted the horrors of history with creation, wit and beauty, rather than with calculations. That may be the reason why their work has survived despite their premature deaths. Such as that of Brdečka.
