THE GODFATHER'S STORY
Highlights
František Vedral’s motto runs: Win any game life throws at you. And life, in the eyes of the fearless mafia boss for whom no goal as unrealistic and every means is justified, is crime. For years he’s nimbly kept one step ahead of the detectives assigned to his case. In the midst of this battle of wits the team of detectives begins to wonder: are we hunters or prey? PŘĺBĚH KMOTRA / THE GODFATHER’S STORY, one of the most successful Czech films of 2013, is torn between laughter and tears as it contemplates phenomena like brutal privatization, fraud and corruption – part of everyday life in post-communist societies.
