Red Shed

In the 1960s, director Jiří Hanibal started specialising in family films. His interest in young viewers lasted until the end of the 1980s. Červená kůlna (The Red Shed) – a family film about the friendship of a young boy, Míša, and Grandpa Andrýs – is one of the undeservedly forgotten titles in his filmography. In the suburbs, the lives of the Horáček family, which doesn’t have time for their son, and the owner of an old shed which looks like the ideal place to park their new family car, become intertwined. The lonely old man puts off renting the shed in order to enjoy the company of the little son… Bohuš Záhorský excels in the role of the old-world retiree in this film made according to the screenplay of the renowned Ota Hofman.
