This is a story of how hope of a change materialised in Czechoslovakia in 1989 during the 'Velvet Revolution', told through the experiences of two Czech women and an Englishman during that period. It is set in the Czech Republic in 1994, with recollections of the tide of circumstances of the 'Velvet Revolution' in 1989 that affected the relationships of the three central characters. It tells interwoven stories of the hopes of the Czech people in 1989, their situation in the Czech Republic five years later, and the man's hope in 1994 of a meaningful relationship with one of the women having made what he feels was the wrong choice between them four-and-a-half years previously. It is a tale of parallel journeys; the journey of a country in 1989 and the journey of a man in his life. Both have a journey of hope. Skryť popis
