A British-Czech coproduction FROM British director Hannah Kodicek which looks at the postwar Communist dictatorship in Czechoslovakia through the eyes of a seven-year-old girl. Maruška grows up in Prague in the fifties, raised more by her relatives than her zealous, society-building mother. (official distributor synopsis)
