Karla Svobodová

Pavel is a Czech partisan fighter in the waning days of the war. Just as peace is declared, Pavel is shot in the spine and sent to the hospital emergency ward. As he fades in and out of consciousness, he recalls the events that led to his participation in the underground. Holding German occupation commander Engelchen responsible for all the horrors and deprivations heaped upon his comrades, Pavel is kept alive by the possibility of recovering and exacting vengeance upon the Nazi officer - no matter how long it takes.

Pavel, um jovem estudante que vive em Praga em 1942, esconde uma rapariga judia no sótão do seu apartamento. Por entre a brutalidade do exército ocupante alemão, o amor floresce entre os dois. Ele é seu único elo com o mundo exterior. Então os dois são descobertos pela mãe de Pavel, que obriga os moradores do prédio a decidir se Hana pode permanecer.

Several bittersweet stories set in a Prague apartment building.

A film about a boy who is protective of a runaway dog and the dog, who is protective of the boy.

A selfish self-centered widowed ruler, barely tolerated by his subjects and called appropriately enough, 'King Myself, First' asks his three daughters to name the measure of their love for him. When one of them says, "more than salt", he banishes her from the kingdom. Not understanding what she meant the King assumes love can only be measured by precious metals or one's own talent, the 'correct' answers from his other two daughters. The arrogance of the King leads him to gather all the salt in the kingdom and destroy it. Of course, this backfires as he slowly learns the universal value of the substance, and of course, the essence of his daughter's reply. With the help of the wise and magical old 'herb woman', the King also learns what it means to be a true and wise ruler.
