Post Bellum

Overview

"As the postscript says, after the Prussian-Austrian War in 1866, there was a rather insignificant term: Post Bellum. It was used as an additional designation for those who fought in that war and survived their comrades..." This sentence begins screenwriter Vladimír Körner's story about a young Austrian army officer, Pavel von Hebro, who survived the battle of Hradec Králové and was decorated by the emperor himself, but is now searching for a reason to continue living in this savage world. Will he find it in his service in the army? Will he find it in his love for the young seamstress Adéla?

Directed by Jaroslav Brabec
