THE CAN, the new film by Tomas Vorel, captures the volatile entrapment felt by many highschoolers today - in the Czech Republic, and well beyond. Petr and Michal would rather not go to school. When they do happen to be there, they sleep through the lesson because they‘ve been up all night spraying graffiti. For what does high school prepare them? Neither the arrogant physics teacher nor the long-winded Czech teacher nor the lonely gym teacher have the answers. Their mundane principal isn‘t able to guide them either, for she, like many of the teachers, is lost herself. Even their sympathetic grassroots art teacher joins the kids more than leads them, moving, like spray, to the margins. Spraying is what really empassions these young people. It‘s a way to leave their mark, but a dangerous way: involving roof top risks, illegal entries into the metro, and dramatic smokestack climbs. For the kids, this way is more real than high school. For them what‘s real is the risk of falling, the chase with the authorites, the cruelty when caught. No wonder their unhappy parents are stressed out to the point of making deals with the principal. THE CAN, by Tomas Vorel, will leave its mark, as it boldly spells out the real problems faced by young people today.

A family retro-comedy for all ages set at the end of the sixties about everyday family fun and hardship, about the drama inherent in relationships and differing opinions, about sorrow—but also finally, about the awakening of first love. This is a gently poetic and humorous story of the fate of aging parents, maturing teens and younger children. The actual plot of the film takes place in villa, in which two families, the Šebeks and Krauses, live side by side. Mr. Šebek, a simple-minded, good-natured officer by profession is a supporter of the ruling political regime. In contrast, Mr. Kraus, a former resistance fighter with bitter war experiences is his staunch adversary. In the end, each member of both families must live out his own story in his own “cozy den“ untill the Soviet invasion of August 1968 violently disturbs their world.
