Waiting for the Rain (1978) Czech film - Cekani na dest



“Cekání na dést” is a 1978 Czechoslovak film directed by Karel Kachyna. The movie covers a few days in the life of 12-year-old Alenka in the Bohnice panel housing estate in Prague near the end of the summer holidays. On a scorching hot summer day, a young girl had to leave the countryside and return home to a block of flats on the outskirts of Prague. Alenka is home alone during the steamy holidays. She is bored, she has a great imagination, and she is also secretly in love. She spends most of the day alone, entertaining herself by thinking and picturing while waiting for the rain on the scorching hot building roof. Alenka has a crush on actor Budil and dresses up for him every day, bringing her mother's purse out onto the street. This short, nice romance about the emotional outbursts of a young girl has succeeded. The well-played main character forces an understanding smile as well as sympathies. Language: Czech. Subtitles: English, German, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, Japanese.
