AN EARTHY PARADISE FOR THE EYES...
synopsis
The extraordinary life of an attractive, vital woman called Marta, and of her two adolescent daughters, Majda and the younger Gábina, and their "fathers". We are in a critical decade of our recent history, starting on the eve of the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1968 and ending with the persecution of Charter 77 signatories, when a divorced man, the father of both girls, once an actor and later a prominent dissident, emigrates with his young bride, while his outwardly-appearing cowardly and apolitical ex-wife Marta stays behind and faces the adverse era quietly and persistently.
