After the Embassy of Poland last week presented in Chisinau the film “Eccentrics. On the sunny side of the street”, the Embassy of the Czech Republic on November 15 organized the screening of the comedy “Grapes”. People of arts, diplomats and journalists were invited to the showing. During four weeks, the countries of the Visegrad Group will be presenting by a film in Chisinau. The Visegrad Group or V4 is a cooperation organization that consists of four Central European states: Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary, IPN reports.

The film “Grapes” by director and scenarist Tomáš Bařina, is a comedy that transfers the spectators to the wineries in southern Moravia. It relates the adventure of two friends, Honza and Jirky. Honza (Kryštof Hádek) is a typical urban cunning fellow, while Jirka (Lukáš Langmajer) is a not very wise impostor that has a special gift: he is good at seducing women. The two use this quality in their swindle. They sell apartments, cars and everything they can. One day, Honza finds out that his grandfather from Moravia, whom he hasn’t seen for a long period of time, is seriously ill. He thus decides to abandon his daily activities and to organize a dream vacation for his grandfather and, without realizing it, makes his own dream come true and finds what he was long looking for.

Czech Ambassador to Moldova Zdeněk Krejčí said they looked for the film that was to be shown in Chisinau rather long as they wanted to bring a very good film. “Grapes” shows wonderful landscapes of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. “Anthropoid”, which was produced by the Czech Republic in concert with the UK and France, also deserves to be watched. This is based on real facts and tells the story of Operation Anthropoid, the World War II assassination of Reinhard Heydrich by Exile Czechoslovak soldiers.

Poland’s Ambassador to Moldova, Artur Michalski, at whose residence the films are screened, reminded the invitees that films made in Hungary and Slovakia will be shown during the next two weeks.
