    PLZEN: Lost in Munich by Petr Zelenka, the winner of Czech Critics’ Awards in 2016, will screen at the 29th Finale Plzen (15-21 April 2016).

    Sir P, a 90-year-old talking grey parrot that once belonged to Edouard Daladier, finds himself in Prague at the invitation of the French Cultural Institute, as a living relic of the time of the Munich Agreement. The Czech side organizes a rather absurd press conference, at which the gentleman does indeed repeat certain key statements ascribed to his erstwhile owner.

    The parrot is kidnapped by Pavel, a Czech journalist, and his controversial statements on Edouard Daladier cause something of an accidental political scandal. Petr Zelenka wrote the script.

    Lost in Munich was produced by David Ondříček through Lucky Man Films in coproduction with Czech Television and Barrandov Studio. It was supported by the State Cinematography Fund.

    The film was domestically released by Falcon on 22 October 2015 and had more than 30,000 admissions so far.
