There is a door that always leads to the sun

The seemingly simple plot, but there are many subtle echoes in it. The overturned footbass and burning iron after the brother-in-law's arrival corresponded to the Nazis breaking the inherent rhythm of life of the Czech people. The male protagonist first glanced at his wife, younger sister, and his wife through the glass. In the last 30 minutes, the male protagonist looked at his brother-in-law from the glass window in the shop, and the camera quickly moved to the brother-in-law, with complex emotions such as doubts, disgust, and shock coming out. On the first day when I went to work in the store, the scene of the shift was the conversion of the power of the husband and wife as well as the power of the Czech Republic. Staring in the mirror twice, once to pluck up the courage to take over the store, kindness prevailed. Once I re-examined my brother-in-law's purpose of letting myself take over the store, and cowardice triumphed over kindness. The hanging hemp rope is a prophecy of death. We untie the hemp rope, but we can't solve the cowardice and mistakes. The boy who always appears in the window, and finally appears in the window, is a good hope.

After the death of the Jewish grandma, the painful male protagonist has nowhere to hide under the camera (this paragraph is my favorite)

Does the shop door on the Sabbath really have the blessing of God, and whether the light that opens the door can take us to heaven?

The last half an hour was absolutely complete, without any violent factors, but fear and despair seemed like the end.

The Shop on Main Street quotes

  • Markus Kolkocký: I'll have him arrested. Him and all the Jew-lovers!

    Antonin Brtko: A Jew-lover?

    Markus Kolkocký: A dirty Jew-lover, your Mr. Kuchár. We know all about him. We're keeping an eye on him. I'm warning you, stay away from him! A Jew-lover is worse than a regular Jew. He isn't one of them, but he's on their side.

    Antonin Brtko: Interesting.

    Markus Kolkocký: Interesting? You bloody fool. Dangerous! Remember that. They're dangerous, remember that!

  • Rozalia Lautmannová: [in Tóno's dream] Fear is the root of all evil. Once we no longer live in fear of each other... Do you hear the bells?
