A proposition by Slovenský filmový ústav - Slovak Film Institute

"The Sun in a Net" by Štefan Uher (1962) is widely considered to be the beginning of the Czechoslovak New Wave. An authentic film in its depiction of ordinary lives, combining then-unacceptable social and political themes with sexual frankness and a freewheeling approach.
