Stranger Tale
Jaroslav Šikl / Czechoslovakia / 1963 / The film already had its Czech Premiere / 12 min.
synopsis
Instead of a summer camp in the countryside, the reality of concrete surfaces, the dirt of unfinished housing estates and grumpy apartment dwellers – that’s childhood in the Prague of summer vacations. Karel Höger ironically invites you to a non-existent fairytale Prague that cares for the healthy development of future generations. It's a hundred-story playground of dreams, where adults aren’t allowed and children finally have a place to play.biography
