DOCUMENTARY
Sie saß im Glashaus und warf mit Steinen
She Sat in a Glass-House Throwing Stones
A portrait of the poet Jana Cerná, daughter of Franz Kafka's lover Milena Jesenská. Behind the bright facade of contemporary
Prague, with its travel agencies and McDonalds, there is a tunnel leading to the world behind the postcards.
Here, Jana's friends, Prague freaks, poets and philosophers, tell of this exceptional, passionate woman. They take us on a
tour through the attics, under the bridges and to the scurrilous cafés where she drank, wrote and made love.
With the surreal humour of Prague and with a little nostalgia they recall Jana Cerná's excesses, her inability to follow rules,
and her magnificent lies...
