Sny o tátovi

Sny o tátovi (2010) blends Documentary and History elements. Top cast includes Alfréd Plocek, Lucie Stárková Plocková, and Alena Šimánková. The plot follows a central conflict that grows in scope as the film progresses.

Actor: Alfréd Plocek

The trial of Alfred Plock differed from previous trials in that it did not have an explicitly political background. A group of engineers from the Ministry of Post, Industry, and Standard Electric were charged solely because they wanted to implement a revolutionary technological innovation and turn Prague into the headquarters of a new pan-European telecommunications system. Among other things, they wanted to enhance their country's prestige on the international stage. However, it was precisely this intention that aroused the suspicion of the security authorities and Soviet advisers. They therefore decided to take decisive action.
