Synopsis
What do Czechs think of Poles and what do Poles think of Czechs? Asking people on the street you will see that there are not too many radical opinions – more likely, there is no opinion at all, and what’s worse: there is very little knowledge about each other. This comparative documentary shall touch on the commonly known similarities between Czechs and Poles – amongst their language, historical myths and the events of their countries. Slowly sinking deeper below the general surface, the film eventually becomes more specific and personal. The heroes of the documentary are mixed couples that live in both countries. The couple’s personal stories are used to compare not only the differences in the mentalities of Czechs and Poles, but also the developments in their respective countries after the political turn at the beginning of the nineties.
