RENÉ
René’s life had been captured on camera since he was seventeen. The camera followed his hopeless journey between prison and the outside world. In 2008 the film comes to an end, leaving the now 37-year-old René a sick man who still gets in trouble with the law and who is also the author of two published books. Director Helena Třeštíková records René’s personal developments against the backdrop of significant political transformations taking place in Central Europe.
