La Parenthèse et le retour en Bohême
The Time Out and the Return to Bohemia
1985, ice skaters twirling around in a sport center in Brussels and smiling towards the camera. Their names are Lida, Jiri, Martin, Eva, Jan and Lucie. They all have one thing in commun : they have left their fatherland, Czechoslovaquia, in 1968, in the confusion which followed the invasion of the country by the Soviet troops. Fifteen years later, the film director takes up the camera again to film The Time Out and the Return to Bohemia. She goes back to the Czech Republic, where she takes with her her emigrant companions as filmed in 1985. The return to their own country is the subject which raises a double question : where do those who left the country draw their strength from to live in exile and how do those who decided to stay live under the oppression of a totalitarian regime ? As they return to their country, they wish to see themselves again as "being Czech". However, their return is like time out from their life in exile. After that, History will take its course again...
