1968 – Hope

Rok 68 – Naděje

The first smile on the “human face” of socialism, in other words in the Prague Spring, during which there was a glimmer of hope that society as a whole would fully recover. The film, pieced together solely from period footage without commentary, chronologically recalls the key moments of an era when the process of democratization and revival was also accompanied by an extraordinary cultural boom, before its violent collapse.
