Svědkyně (1991)
Mrs Hrabětová is exactly the type of person who is called a "woman of the people". A bit of a housekeeper, a bit of a do-gooder. She suffers from a complex that she's never been able to make decisions about anything or anyone. Once she gets the chance, she'll grow up. Alone in her own eyes. A little, trampy, mousey, scared-eyed woman becomes a passionate avalanche. Confusing and uncontrollable on the surface, but very accurately portrayed in the acting, because one of the most popular Czech actresses can play even chaotic outbursts of bitter comedy really well.
