English StrawberriesSummary
It is 1968 and young Tomáš is getting ready to go to England to pick strawberries. Not everyone approves of his plans. Before leaving, Tomáš spends a lively evening with his friends and his girlfriend Táňa. In the morning, he hurries to the train station through the empty streets of Prague. But no trains are running that day. It is August 21, a day that will change the lives of Tomáš, his family, and his friends.
