The Elementary School

In post-war Czechoslovakia, the rural village of Eda and his friend Tonda serves as a backdrop for their formative years. Amidst this serene setting, their school becomes a battleground for education as their unruly class finally drives their teacher to resignation. Enter Igor Hnidzo, a disciplinarian with an unwavering approach to teaching. While he imposes strict rules and routines to bring order to the chaotic classroom, there's also a softer side to him - a fascination for young women that shapes his otherwise stern persona. Navigating through this unique blend of authority and vulnerability, Eda and Tonda learn invaluable lessons about life, resilience, and human complexity as they grow up under Hnidzo's watchful eye.
