Synopsis
The film Milda is a unique opportunity to look not only into the mentality of the former most powerful man of Czechoslovakia Miloš Jakeš, but also offers a unique view behind the backstage of the highest levels of communist politics. The document brings a series of situations, interviews, conflicts and confrontations. On the one hand, Yake is a dogmatic communist and, on the other, a lonely and old man with a humble way of life, a polite performer. Jakeš plays the role of an ideological fanatic in the film, but at the same time he acts as a friendly peculiarity of Milda from the neighborhood. This combination brings out the exciting form of political evil with the human face.
