A would-be poet takes to tne soapbox in a crowded hangout for the ill-timed performance that bookends this comedy-drama set one night in atmospheric Pilsen. Director Samir takes a bravura approach to storytelling with a film shot almost entirely in a single take.

Thursday, March 26, 8:15 pm
A deep vein of ironic humor underlies this character study of a Czech village. Bartender Maruna (Vilhelmová) is young enough to be the resident hot babe but old enough to hear the ticking of her biological clock, as life takes its toll on the hamlet’s citizens in the form of murder and other mishaps.
In Czech and German with English subtitles.
