Summary
Twenty-three year-old Martin has an eagle tattooed on his chest, but his colleagues in a land improvement work party tell him they see it as a chicken. The insecure young man is certainly not the brave lad he’d like to be seen as: he’s abandoned his wife Božena with a small son and feels jealousy towards her, even though he himself lives with the salesgirl Manča. The immature Martin’s guide on the road to adulthood turns out to be the criminal Kvíčala, who comes to bolster the work group after his release from prison... This adaptation of the Slepá kolej (Blind Track) short stories by writer Miroslav Rafaj is the work of director Ivo Novák. The main role in this 1978 motion picture is played by Svatopluk Skopal. The part of Manča is taken by Jana Brejchová and Naďa Konvalinková stars as the protagonist’s wife. The colourful work gang features Radoslav Brzobohatý, Josef Bláha and Jiří Lábus.
