DESCRIPTION
A tragicomedy about a 16-year-old young man who encounters the hypocrisy of the adult world during his first job at a small supermarket. Petr starts working behind the till in a small town supermarket; but his real task is to watch for potential shoplifters. At the same time, Petr is also under pressure from his well-meaning, but imperceptive father. Petr doesn’t even feel at ease among his own contemporaries. This timeless picture was a debut feature film from director Miloš Forman, who unveiled this loosely structured personal tale, which also serves as a piercing study of the generation gap.
