Barefoot
Premiere: 17 August
Synopsis: This is another movie by Jana Svěráka. Eight-year-old Eda is a long desired, very carefully sheltered child, since his parents have already lost one child. We already know Eda Souček, his mom and dad – that’s because the story takes place before the Czech classic “Obecná škola”, one of the most popular Czech movies ever. We think that a collaboration of two Svěráks can never go wrong, and based on the trailer we think that the movie will deliver.

Premiere: 17 August
Synopsis: A movie by Patrick Hughes. And the plot? The best bodyguard in the world gets a surprising client – a hitman who decided to appear in court.

On its own, that already promises high-quality entertainment, don’t you think? Moreover, the movie is a mix between a comedy and an action movie, so it seems that it offers something for both genders. In fact, this movie is our hot tip for couples.
American Made
Premiere: 24 August
Synopsis: This is a criminal thriller by Douga Limana about former army pilot and drug smuggler Barry Seal, who was contacted by the DEA in the eighties in order to stop the Columbian Drug Cartel Medellín.
