Let’s Talk about It Next Summer

The second half of the 1970s brought dramatic changes for Ondřej Havelka: he began to sing in the Original Prague Syncopated Orchestra, he left Ypsilon Studio and he began to study opera directing at JAMU in Brno. The year of 1977, meanwhile, saw Havelka make his silver screen debut. He took the leading role of an idealistic young man, Karel, who accepts a job as a tractor driver in a small village. But he fails to find the good and just people he longs to encounter, even among the down-to-earth residents of this idyllic settlement… This comedy, which unfolds during the harvesting season, is director Július Matula’s second feature. Markéta Fišerová stars as the hero’s country girl love interest, co-operative bookkeeper Hanka. Svatopluk Skopal plays her existing boyfriend, rogue tractor driver Venca.
