The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988)
Synopsis
Tomas is a doctor and a lady-killer in 1960s
Czechoslovakia, an apolitical man who is struck with love for the
bookish country girl Tereza; his more sophisticated sometime lover
Sabina eventually accepts their relationship and the two women form an
electric friendship. The three are caught up in the events of the Prague
Spring (1968), until the Soviet tanks crush the non-violent rebels;
their illusions are shattered and their lives change forever.
