DARK BLUE WORLD (TMAVOMODRY SVET) Galas

Reuniting the creative team behind the Academy Award-winning KOLYA, DARK BLUE WORLD tells the gripping story of celebrated Czechoslovakian
fighter pilot Lieutenant Franta, who in 1939 is assigned to train a rookie
named Karel. But when the Nazis invqpe their country, both men escape
to England where they enlist in the Royal Air Force. Southern England
becomes an intense proving ground for the two men, as escalating combat
in the air and love for the same woman on the ground provide the ultimate
tests for their new friendship.
Gorgeously shot in Cinemascope and featuring some of the most breathtaking
aerial action sequences ever captured on film, DARK BLUE WORLD
is a tragically honest and enduring romance that more than lives up to the
anticipation surrounding Jan Sverak’s follow-up to KOLYA.
