A Camel in No Man’s Land

Sale ended ← Back to programme
It is spring 1945. The war is over, and the world is slowly returning to what it once was. But then, near the village of Pohled, something entirely unexpected appears—a camel. More precisely, a she-camel. What to do with her? She cannot plough fields, and she is no use for meat. A group of young boys from a newly re-established Scout troop comes up with a solution. Together with the camel Pepita, they set off on a rescue mission from Havlíčkův Brod to the Prague Zoo. So begins a journey of more than one hundred kilometres through post-war Czechoslovakia, full of eccentric celebrations of the war’s end and ideals that somehow get lost along the way.
