René

The incredible story of a young man accompanied by a film camera from the age of eighteen, on his life’s journey between prisons and short intermezzos outside; after another eighteen years, we leave him as a 36-year-old man, an unlikely writer, a seriously ill patient, and unfortunately still an incorrigible criminal. The story of René “Czech Villon” unfolds against the backdrop of significant political changes in Central Europe whose reflections remain omnipresent in the film. René’s history opens in a prison full of socialist banners, continues during the “Velvet Revolution” and finds him back in prison at the time of the Czech Republic joining the EU.
