Prague Spring

Prague. Very romantic name. Not just because of that famous political-historical term "Prague Spring". Since the end of the last century, this place name itself has been a common word in the dictionaries of the petty bourgeoisie. Small bars, bluestone road, Eastern European-style music, romance everywhere.

The film has a historical background. very heavy. The so-called opposition of freedom and despotism is always a good topic, especially for Westerners to see. That history, perhaps, will repeat itself to varying degrees in different countries and regions in the future, and contradictions are eternal.

The most superficial reflection in the film is the attitudes of men and women of different personalities towards sex. It is also an eternity. Are sex and emotion separate or unified? Is it causing and being caused or independent and spontaneous? Is there identity in time and space? Everyone gave their own answer. Not in his gender, but in his character.

Values ​​cannot be forced. Safety first.
