Summer School, 2001

Summer cinema at Panelka in Luleč runs from May to September – every Tuesday and sometimes Wednesday.

Summer 2001. Seventeen-year-old Kien with his bright red hair returns to his family in a market in Cheb after ten years in Vietnam. Instead of a warm welcome, he faces an estranged father, a worried mother, and a younger brother who gives him nothing. Between ironing Pokémon onto t-shirts, drilling Czech language, and dating by the lake, secrets surface whose revelation will turn the market's life upside down.

Director Dužan Duong's film offers a glimpse into the community through the eyes of the first Vietnamese generation that grew up in the Czech Republic. (Aerofilms) ČSFD: 71%
