OLD-TIMERS
Trailer
Vlasta Reiner, an elderly gentleman well into his eighties, flies from the USA to Prague. He sits in a wheelchair and appears fragile. When, due to the absence of a valid Czech firearm license, the airport border guards prove reluctant to return his weapon, he reacts so indignantly that one senses for the first time that a determined force is concealed behind the helpless exterior. And it is this force that he uses to persuade his old friend Tonda to help him on one last mission. He finally wants to get even with prosecutor Mráz who, back in the fifties, sentenced the two friends to years of imprisonment whilst dispatching others to the gallows. With two dogs and an old delivery van the two men set off on a personal vendetta. They are slow, with every physical movement causing them discomfort and even the smallest of hand movements taking time, yet an astonishing tenacity drives them on. CF
