Dark Blue World Page #6

Synopsis: March 15, 1939: Germany invades Czechoslovakia. Czech and Slovak pilots flee to England, joining the RAF. After the war, back home, they are put in labor camps, suspected of anti-Communist ideas. This film cuts between a post-war camp where Franta is a prisoner and England during the war, where Franta is like a big brother to Karel, a very young pilot. On maneuvers, Karel crash lands by the rural home of Susan, an English woman whose husband is MIA. She spends one night with Karel, and he thinks he's found the love of his life. It's complicated by Susan's attraction to Franta. How will the three handle innocence, Eros, friendship, and the heat of battle? When war ends, what then?

"It happened on 23rd September"

"during combat with the enemy."

"He was a brave pilot"

"He will remain In our hearts forever. "

A little well, made of stone

in an open field

stands alone.

Keep moving. Keep moving.

Honor guard, attention!

Honor guard, fire!

And then we began to escort the Americans.

Karel moved quarters.

His only words to me In 3 months were "Yes Sir" on the radio.

I wrote begging him to forgive me.

But a wounded soul heals slower than a wounded body.

What's wrong, Franta?

My engine's conking out.

I'm about to take a swim.

See you, boys.

Red Two, stay with him and report your position.

Karel is with him, Sir.

Roger.

Mayday! Mayday!

Pilot in the water, over!

Mayday!

Take a fix on my signal. Do you read me?

Send out a lifeboat.

Is anyone listening!

His dingy's burst. He's only his life jacket.

Hurry, he'll freeze to death.

Take a fix on my signal, you idiots!

Sh*t!

Go home, Karel.

You'll run out of juice.

What are you doing,

you fool!

Franta.

My instruments are in such a mess!

Thank you, gentlemen.

My idea of getting out of here...

They put me up to it.

They wanted to pin something on you so they could beat you up.

What was in it for you?

I'd get out earlier.

The best thing about all this is,

you're not such a bastard.

Good afternoon.

Excuse me. I must have lost my way.

Where are you heading, Old Boy?

London.

Ah, yes, London. You need to drive straight on

till you reach the main road and then turn left.

- Thank you. - My pleasure.

Is the road all right?

Do I need to drive slowly?

No, it's been repaired.

There are no potholes.

Have a safe journey.

Barcha? Don't you know me?

Come here...

Hello.

Franta?

They said that...

that you were dead.

So you see,

I'm not.

Don't cry.

No one's to blame.

You are beautiful.

Let's go, Barcha.

Thanks for looking after her.

Baicha!

She's our dog!

Really?

Baicha, come here!

Baicha, come home.

Stay then, Barcha.

Don't be sad, Franta.

Karel, is that you?

Sure.

Where are you?

Behind you. Where I've always been.

Please speak English.

Sorry, not this time. Now it's personal.
