COUNTRY: Czech Republic
Director: Adam Rybanský
Director and Screenwriter Adam Rybanský’s debut film points to a fantastic career ahead. This humorous parody about misinformation, fear, and prejudices was screened in the Panorama section of the 72nd Berlin Film Festival. Rybanský says about his film, "This is a story about good people being victims of conspiracy theories and their own fears." Clumsy Standa and recently widowed Bronya are volunteer firefighters in a small village where they enjoy a quiet and peaceful life. Things begin to change when a van crashes into a crowd of people during the Easter Fair. Before anyone notices, the driver runs away from the car crash. People believe it is a terrorist attack, and the festive mood is replaced by an atmosphere of fear, hatred, and misinformation. Soon, the fire brigade becomes a militia.
