Dir. Jan Sverak
In Czech, Russian with English subtitles

Aroview: A beautifully sentimental Oscar winner for Best Foreign film - set during the 1988 Russian occupation of Czechoslovakia, when a middle-aged bachelor has his fancy-free life encumbered with the care of an abandoned Russian infant who doesn't speak a word of Czech.

Heart-breakingly human, this also resonates on romantic and socio-political levels, while taking splendid advantage of the Prague locations.
