A mega concert by the most popular Czech band, which celebrated its 20th anniversary this year at the O2 Arena in Prague... The band Chinaski, which first made its mark on the Czech music scene with the hit "Dlouhej kouř" from the album of the same name, is one of the most popular pop-rock bands in the country. Virtually every album by the group contains several hits that have ranked high in the charts and have become some of the most played songs on domestic radio stations. The band Chinaski has been successful many times in the Czech music polls Žebřík and Český slavík and has also been awarded several times by the Academy of Popular Music with the Anděl award. This year, the band celebrated its twentieth anniversary. They celebrated this event with a mega-concert on February 6, 2014, at the O2 Arena in Prague, which we are broadcasting in a television recording.

The deportation of 4000 Jews from Budapest to Auschwitz in July 1944, as told by George Tabori, and how the narrator’s mother escaped it, owing to coincidence, courage and some help from where you’d least expect it.

Based on an autobiographical novella by Ivan Olbracht, the film tells the story of Hanele Safarová, who grows up just after the First World War in a little Ruthenian schtetl which, in true Hassidic fashion, awaits the arrival of the Messiah. But Hanele decides to follow the Zionists instead. She moves to the city to prepare for her departure to the Promised Land, where she meets a successful businessman named Ivo Karadzic, who has renounced Judaism to become a free-thinker. Their love for each other doesn’t only drive Hanele’s parents to distraction, it also threatens to destroy the entire community in the schetl.
