Space Frank

Film

Space Frank (Franta mimozemšťan) is a comedy set in a quiet Moravian village that is thrown into turmoil by strange goings-on. Amateur astronomer Blažej (Filip Březina) is convinced that visitors from space have arrived, but nobody believes him. Mayor Picek (Vasil Fridrich) is busy with grant applications, and the local police officer Marková (Erika Stárková) is hunting for a stolen tanker. So why have crop circles appeared in a field near the vineyard? And why is the neighbour, Franta (Jakub Prachař), suddenly behaving so strangely, babbling nonsense and searching for something called Karadar? The whole village agrees that Franta was always a bit out of this world, but this is too much even for his wife Božena (Tereza Ramba). Then there is Rebeka (Kateřina Marie Fialová), who claims she has only come to camp. And who is General Sokol (Jiří Langmajer) really in command of?
