O polednách (Depresivní děti)

Grotesque ode for long kilometers of baked strudels, entertaining justice game, stage search in the footsteps of regret and obscure spiritist session, in which the Communist prosecutor, prominent reviewer, hanged politician and skillfully hidden conscience defile. Zuzana Bydžovská in the lead role of a woman who does not want to evoke her past, but the past evokes it and drives it to responsibility. What happens "deep in the souls of" people who participated in political trials in the 1950s sent to prison unjustly convicted on the treadmill and many of them condemned directly to death? Were their judges just a part of history? What about Ludmila Brožová-Polednová, a key figure of the process with Milada Horáková? In the end, we all go crazy about the questions of justice once, today and once in the future…
