On September 26, 2018, a new film Barefooot by Jan and Zdenek Sverak was screened during the 30th European Film Festival. The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Amman has been taking part in this festival since the very beginning of its existence.
The film was shortly presented by H.E. Mr Josef Koutsky, the new ambassador of the Czech Republic to Jordan.
The audience could dive for nearly two hours into the world of little Eda Soucek, who had to face a difficult task: to find and defend his place in a village boys´ gang whose world was completely different from his city life. Although the whole story is set in the time of the Protectorate, a very difficult period for the Czechs, both the expressive language of children and a number of funny situations have made the audience smile and laugh. Thus the film was fully honored by the audience's applause at the end.
