В этой семье три поколения женщин делают всё, буквально всё, чтобы мужья их были счастливы. В том смысле счастливы, в каком это понимают они: здоровый образ жизни, семейный круг и строгое подчинение законам «идеального брака». Женщина, хранительница очага, все знает лучше, когда дело доходит до бытовых проблем. Вообще-то она знает лучше абсолютно всё. Яну Бергеру в голову не приходит подвергать это сомнению. Живет, как у Христа за пазухой, но почему-то несчастлив. Возможно потому, что живет не своей жизнью. Смерть тестя, погубленного неумолимой заботой тёщи, заставляет его понять это – и начать действовать. Он готовит побег, вот только довольно странным и диким образом. Симулируя болезнь Алцгеймера. И хотя все быстро выходит из-под контроля, его бунт подхватывает и молодое поколение.

On November 25, 1940, the SS Patria sank in the port of Haifa killing 267 people. The ship was carrying almost 1,800 Jewish refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe whom the British authorities were deporting from Mandatory Palestine to Mauritius because they lacked entry permits. Opposed to the deportation, the Haganah planted a bomb intended to disable the ship to prevent it from leaving Haifa. However, they miscalculated the effects of the explosion and the bomb sank the ship in less than 16 minutes (Dir. Pavel Štingl, 2006, 45 min.). Pavel Stingl an award winning documentary filmmaker studied at the Film and Television Academy of the Performing Arts in Prague (FAMU). The screening is part of the ongoing “Docs in Salute” film series presented by the Library of Congress in collaboration with the Embassy of the Czech Republic.

Documentary look at doomed male prostitutes in Prague, ages 15 to 18, who troll at the public swimming pool, the train station, a video arcade, and a disco. After the boys talk about how they got in the game, the camera follows them to the home of Pavel Rousek. Under the name Hans Miller, he makes gay porno videos, primarily for German distribution. Intercut with a movie shoot chez Rousek is an interview that follows him to his day job at a morgue, where he performs an autopsy as he talks about his work. The sex is without protection; the boys are without family. They talk about their bodies and souls, money, their sexual orientation, AIDS, their dreams, and death.

Interviews with a procurer and with nineteen boys and young men who are prostitutes in Prague. The youths range in age from 14 to 19. They hustle at the central train station and at clubs. Most of their clients are foreign tourists, many are German. The youths talk about why they hustle, their first trick, prices, dangers, what they know about AIDS, their fears (disease and loneliness), and how they imagine their futures. The film's title, its liturgical score, much of it elegiac, and shots of the city's statues of angels underline the vulnerability and callow lack of sophistication of the young men.
