Synopsis

Andula, an innocent Czech girl from a factory town, is desperately in search of love. She believes she's found it when she beds Milda, a charming young musician visiting from Prague. Milda, however, is only looking for a casual encounter, and leaves town assuming he'll never see Andula again. But when Andula doesn't hear from him, she packs up and heads to Prague, to the surprise of Milda and his parents.

Cinema Atlas Connection
Miloš Forman’s first film of any major significance, and an inspiration. The performances he gets in this movie are completely natural.

That film really captures something about being a young woman that is both universal and also very specific to her world. The performances are just so real.
