"Composed entirely of home movies, still photographs, letters, and diaries dating from the 1920's to the 1960's, the series explores the impact of sweeping historical events: war, economic depression, and government interference, on the private lives of ordinary people. In the midst of political turbulence and social change, they grow up, fall in love, get married, go on vacation just like us. The events of Czechoslovakia during the 20th century provide the historical backdrop, but the problems, pleasures, and pain of the people in each episode are universal."--Container.
