Kolya &#; A Heart Wrenching Drama
Kolya is a Czech drama released in that follows the story of Louka, (portrayed by famous Czech actor Zdenek Sverák) a former concert cellist at the Prague Philharmonic who now works playing among others at funerals where he barely makes ends meet.
He agrees to marry a Russian woman who needs citizen papers in exchange for a fee. Upon their marriage, she emigrates to Germany, leaving Louka to take care of her sweet 5 year old, Kolya (Andrej Chalimon). In the beginning, Louka finds himself struggling to communicate with russian speaking Kolya.
He seems a cynic bachelor who is used to his life of seducing women, and only taking care of himself, but throughout the film their bond grows stronger and all is tested when child services threatens to take Kolya away. This movie is both comedic as well as sad, its characters are lovable, and the story is simply beautiful.
Also, on an interesting note, the film was directed by Jan Svěrák, Zdeneks son. The endearing family feeling of the movie is definitely visible when watching.

After the First World War, it continued its development in a free and democratic Czechoslovak Republic which was after two decades destroyed by the Nazi Germany. A fundamental systemic change occurred in when the Czechoslovak film was nationalized i.e., that the state (and after the Communist establishment) completely controlled all film activities in the entire country.(1) After the demise of the Communist dictatorship in , a democratic regime was reestablished and with it the market economy; the film production was privatized and returned to the hands of private producers and distributors.(2) This dependency of the Czech film production on external conditions which were preventing the natura
