Brutální vedro

A piece of the sun has detached itself and is now hurtling towards Earth. In thirty years it may hit our planet and destroy it - or simply fly past. No one knows. The only thing that is tangible so far is the unbearable, paralysing heat. This also prevails when Vincek wakes up in the morning. He lives with his father in Prague, and their relationship is not particularly cordial. Just like the days before, today does not promise any highlights. Then a buddy calls and convinces Vincek to join him and other friends in a weekend house in the country where it is cooler. What should be a simple drive becomes a challenge as people stop reacting and acting the way they used to. For Vincek, it finally becomes really dangerous...Using the example of Vincek, whose role director Albert Hospodářský cast with his brother, he shows the difficult process of growing up in times of global threat. But it is not only the young people who are at a loss; some older people also behave as if there were no tomorrow. Does the global crisis reduce people to their inner core? An interesting thought experiment that makes you think.
