A Sunday in Prague

Bruno Šefranka / Czechoslovakia / 1963 / The film already had its Czech Premiere / 15 min.


synopsis

The biggest calm is on the roof, because Sunday Prague does not rest. The chaotic stream of the collectively resting nation spreads avalanche-like to the swimming pool, the embankment or along the Vltava River. Lovers of beer, camping and recreational sports leave their homes to enjoy the tones of the weekend city in a symphony of crowds.
