FLUCHT AUF DER ELBE
ESCAPE ON THE ELBE
Ladislav Feierabend, having in 1941 fled from the Germans to London and become finance minister of Edvard Beneš’ government in exile, is after the communist coup in post-war Czechoslovakia faced with the prospect of a show trial. In Děčín he encounters the Elbe boatman Josef Novák, whose German-Czech family background has attracted the attentions of the Czechoslovak secret service. It is on Novák’s ship that Feierabend takes flight from his homeland anew.
A fateful encounter in 1948 is the starting point of a reflection on German-Czech local history; caught between normality, animosity and remembrance.
