The Word

Václav is mild-mannered notary public who settles disputes with a calm appeal to reason. The qualities have made him a respected figure in the small Czech town where he lives with his loyal wife Vera and their two young children - but also a prime target of the Communist Party, who pressures him to join the ranks.  Václav continues to refuse but the year is 1968 and Soviet tanks are already roaming the streets.

Winner of the Best Director and Best Actor awards at the 2022 Karlovy Vary Festival, The Word is an original and intimate character study with exquisite performances from Martin Finger and Gabriela Mikulková.
