Last crime we don’t remember

Against the backdrop of a collapsing regime and an emerging free society, the actions of a group of minors—ending in tragedy—have gradually faded from public discourse. Through period police reconstruction footage, we uncover a criminal story that has vanished from memory, much like the recovered materials themselves. The restoration of the sound and image serves as an aesthetic and formal portal into 1980s Czechoslovakia. This documentary diptych consists of two films, We Had an Oath and Yes, I Remember, each approaching the same story from a different angle to bear witness to an era that, much like the footage itself, seems lost yet remains dangerously close.
