film_summary

Around 1989, writer-director Miloš Zábranský presented himself as maker of “spiritual” films containing a social-critical subtext (Dům pro dva [House for Two, 1987], Masseba, 1989, Stavení [Home, 1990]). But his debut film is not a parable, it is rather a morality play. Poslední mejdan (The Last Binge, 1984) tells the story of two female nursing school students, each with very different personalities and moral standards. Kristýna is sensitive and conscientious; Alena is a superficial manipulator. While sharing a room at a hall of residence, Kristýna gradually detects worrying shortcomings among her suitors, and increasingly fancies the good-hearted Pepík. Alena, meanwhile, gets herself pregnant with Yugoslavian man Bora, and tries to get him to march down the aisle... Tereza Pokorná (Kristýna) and Světlana Nálepková (Alena) take the lead roles in this sensitive story of mid-1980s female adolescence.
