Director Ondřej Veverka presents the story of a pilot who made his name whilst serving with the RAF’s 303rd Polish Fighter Squadron during the Battle of Britain.

Changes is an original comedy about people in contemporary Prague who, at various stages of their lives, are trying to work out who they are, what they actually want, and whether they have fulfilled their dreams. With humour, grit and a sense of perspective, the film reflects on intergenerational relationships, identity crises and the pressures of a consumerist age, whilst delivering a series of unexpected twists. Prague is a city of seven bridges that connect both riverbanks and people’s destinies. A vibrant place where you are surrounded by people, and yet where one can feel painfully alone.

"A documentary anatomy of mass murder for one monitor and 34 talking heads." These are the words the filmmakers use in the credits to describe their project, which thematises the execution of more than 260 Carpathian Germans, Hungarians and Slovaks by Czechoslovak army soldiers near Přerov in June 1945. The “massacre at Přerov” is made present through a minimalist dramatisation of the interrogation footage of direct participants, eyewitnesses, and others. It is as if the characters of ancient theatre were entering the Zoom “stage” and delivering a tragic message of fear, hatred and disinterest across the chasm of time.
