Svatba na bitevním poli

Distinctive characters, a kind view of their dreams, worries, and transgressions, which none of us can avoid, an original plot… This is the prepossessing setting of a comedy that takes us to Zvěstov, a picturesque Moravian village where the men like to re-enact a famous Napoleonic battle. They do it with such enthusiasm that they almost cause a tragedy and turn the romantic wedding of Tomas and a beautiful French girl, Claire, into bloodshed. In the end, everything is resolved with common sense and humour, but mostly with ordinary happiness and love, which drowns out all the sabre-rattling and is more powerful than dreams about fame.
