My Century

Moje století; Theodora Remundová, 2019, versions: OR,ES, languages: ces

Director: Theodora Remundová

My century is a mosaic of stories from the century of our republic in the memories of century-old citizens from the foundation of Czechoslovakia to their / its present day. The ‘small’ fates of the protagonists from the majority of our country’s regions permeate the archival images of major historical events. The documentary is an adventurous search for our national identity – for who we were and who we are. We follow subjective testimonies of 25 century-old living people in the history of our republic. We observe the crucial moments of their personal stories in connection with social changes from the First Republic, through the WW II, 1950s, 1968 and the normalization until the Velvet Revolution. Some social changes significantly changed the direction of the destiny, others adapted. The final mosaic stresses individual experiences, attitudes, opinions, reflects the change of time and touches deeply in connection with a time long gone through the almost miracle of a living century-old man.
