synopsis

I like parrots, monkeys, gas masks and Czechs, boasts a little girl in a tenderly honest sociological film-survey that asks children aged four to five what the words home, nation and homeland mean. We are home when we are not out, home has no name, it is a feeling. Patriotism comes afterwards, we learn Europeanism and Czechism. Nation becomes home, a shelter and a trap.

biography

Radúz Činčera (1923–1999), a graduate of aesthetics and theatre science at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University, screenwriter, dramaturge and director, made around 60 documentary films on natural, social, physical and other topics for Short Film Prague since 1956. He gained fame mainly thanks to the interactive programme Kinoautomat.
