A student film by Jiří Menzel made during his second year at FAMU, it juxtaposes lingering views of historic Prague’s tenement houses—symbols of a bygone era—with vivid shots of modern construction sites for prefabricated apartment blocks. Though the piece bears unavoidable propagandistic touches, it marks the director’s first step toward his celebrated “dramaturgy of colors.”
