This is a wonderful, but downbeat 1966 film made in Czechoslovakia and it centers around a small band of women who are some of the very last survivors of a nuclear holocaust that happened about 30 years beforehand.
They are led by an older woman who teaches them different skills and keeps the band going in search of food. They happen upon a very lonely man who is living at an old hotel called The Ozone.
It is here that the old leader of the group finally passes away and everything ends on a rather shocking note. However, it's not really at all to suprising considering these are humans we are seeing here.
I will not spoil anything here. I found this to be a superior film and it will hold your attention even though there is really no action or explotative elements.
It is, at times. bleak, depressing and shocking, but that is exactly what makes it work so well. This is a highly recommended movie, and one you should try and see.
The print is subtitled in English. SEE IT!!
