The Black Dynasty 1962
The family is connected with Prague's "Kolbenka", the ÄŒKD locomotive factory. Grandfather AntonÃn, already retired, son Rudolf, a master in the locomotive assembly section and grandson AntonÃn, a promising football player. The film also tells the story of Rudolf's daughter Vera - each generation has its own ideas about life and cannot identify with the others. The film is linked by retrospective sequences from the lives of AntonÃn the Elder and Rudolf, especially from the war years. It is a realistic take on working-class life, unencumbered by ideology (despite the opening dedication), featuring well-known and time-tested actors in mainly male roles.
