Synopsis
When Václav Havel celebrated his 75th birthday at the DOX Gallery in Prague, we were one of only two crews allowed to shoot. When the sad news of Havel's death broke on Sunday, December 18, 2011, we grabbed the camera to capture people who flocked to the Prague Castle, St. Wenceslas statue and other places around Prague. Cardinal Dominik Duka offered a silent prayer at the St. Wenceslas's grave. Bells in the completely empty cathedral started to toll at 6 p.m. The film closes with footage from Havel's office as it was being cleared out at the end of January.
