Forest

The film features footage from Jan Palach's funeral, emphasizing the emotional weight of the event. It is accompanied by the words of Maxim Gorky's Old Woman Izergil, which adds a literary depth to the visuals. Notable performances include solos by Milada Sýkorová and Jiří Němeček, along with choir contributions from Kühn's mixed choir. The film serves as a reflection on leadership and the collective response of society during moments of crisis.

The documentary style and poetic narrative distinguish it from typical cinematic offerings of the era, making it a unique entry in film collections focused on this genre and time period.
