Film: Dry Season (Sucho)
Join us at the Avalon Theatre on July 9, 2025, at 8 pm, for the screening of the film Dry Season (Sucho)! The film is a powerful 2024 Czech drama from acclaimed director Bohdan Sláma, exploring the fragile balance between tradition, ideology, and family loyalty. Tickets can be purchased online!
Set against the stark beauty of South Moravia’s “Moravian Tuscany,” the film portrays the escalating conflict between two neighboring family clans, each led by a domineering father. As young love blooms between Míra and Žofka—heirs to opposing values—the teens challenge the rigid structures imposed by their parents. Tensions rise, ideologies clash, and long-held resentments boil to the surface in a gripping tale of generational conflict, environmental reckoning, and the hope for reconciliation in both the land and the heart.
112 min., in Czech with English subtitles
