synopsis
From a 21-year-old student leader during the 1989 Velvet Revolution to a man in his mid-forties who has lived a roller coaster life and experienced both victories and losses – Jakub Špalek, founder and director of Prague's Kašpar ("Jester") theatre, has always been driven and engulfed by his obsession with theatre. His house near Prague is gradually being filled with theatre decorations and costumes; Jakub's wife and two daughters have left. A new beginning, and one of the hardest decisions imaginable, are in store for him.more about film
