Barrandov Studios, once one of Europe’s most modern film factories, became both a cultural refuge and a propaganda tool under Nazi occupation, churning out Czech comedies and romances to keep the public distracted while its actors mingled with German authorities. After the war, many of those same stars faced accusations of collaboration, their meteoric Protectorate-era fame tainted by the compromises they made to keep the cameras rolling under shifting regimes.
Cast: Michal Balcar, Annette Nesvadbová, Michal Dlouhý, Jaroslav Plesl, Judit Pecháček, Pavel Batěk, Jan Novotný, David Novotný
