Funeral Ceremony

Directed by Zdenek Sirový

With Jaroslava Tichá, Ľudovít Kroner, Josef Somr, Jana Vychodilová and Ludmila Roubíková

Matylda, who lives in the Czech countryside, is trying to arrange burial plans for her dying husband, Jan. While Matylda hopes to have a funeral for Jan in the small town where they once lived, there are complications. Years earlier, Jan spoke out against the Communist government and was consequently expelled from the town. When Matylda fails to convince a local politician to allow the ceremony, she uses her husband's funeral as a public show of dissent.
