Žízeň

Set in the small village of Klícov, Žízeň delves into the lives of farmers coping with the catastrophic dry weather of 1947. The film focuses on the challenges faced by farmers Hánek and Bervida, along with the elderly Hromádka, as they are among the few with access to water. The rest of the villagers must endure long queues for water for themselves and their animals.

The narrative emphasizes the community's regret over rejecting the proposal for a new village water-supply system by cooperative chairman Kouba. This drama not only highlights the immediate struggles of rural life but also reflects broader themes of community and decision-making in times of crisis. With its relatable storyline and strong performances from a notable cast, Žízeň presents a poignant look at human resilience in the face of adversity.
