Film: Invincibles

Date: 09 September 2026 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM, Venue: Avalon Theatre

The Avalon Theater will screen the film Invincibles (Neporazitelní), an inspiring drama directed by Dan Pánek that blends moving storytelling, humor, and resilience as part of the ongoing Lions of Czech Film Series on September 9, at 8 pm.

Inspired by contemporary true stories and set against the backdrop of the 2019 World Para Ice Hockey Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic, the film follows three ordinary men whose lives are forever changed as they confront unexpected challenges, personal loss, and the opportunity for a fresh start.

MORE ABOUT THE FILM:

Petr Fišer (Hynek Čermák), owner of a successful advertising agency, refuses to believe anything is impossible as he struggles to save his family. Robert "Bob" Krulich (Ivan Trojan), an eccentric coach, faces retirement as the world he has dedicated his life to begins to disappear. Radim Musil (Tomáš Havlínek), a talented young floorball player, sees his future shattered after he is stabbed while bravely defending a stranger. Though their journeys are very different, each man discovers that life's greatest victories come not from avoiding hardship, but from finding the courage to move forward.

Balancing emotional depth with warmth and humor, Invincibles celebrates perseverance, second chances, and the extraordinary strength of the human spirit. Through its compelling characters and the inspiring world of para ice hockey, the film reminds audiences that resilience, hope, and determination can overcome even life's most daunting obstacles.

Starring acclaimed Czech actors Ivan Trojan, Hynek Čermák, and Tomáš Havlínek, Invincibles received Czech Lion Award nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.
