Poetess appreciated by nobody in her youth. Poetess shining as star only after her return from emigration. Poetess of old age and old women, leaving and parting. Poetess of fairy tales. Poetess of animals. The cycle will recall the work of five most significant authors of the group, five non-conforming teenagers of the 50s: Jiří Kuběna, Viola Fischerová, Josef Topol, Věra Linhartová and at the end also contemporary texts of Václav Havel himself.

So much more guilty, in the eyes of history, are those who have sacrificed the country’s spiritual future for the sake of their present power interests.“
