Directed by Zdeněk Jiráský
A bleakly humorous snapshot of life in a snowy and remote Czech town, Flower Buds tracks with clear-eyed tenderness the intersecting hardships and hopes of its residents, centering on the Hrdina family: Jarda, a train signal operator with a gambling problem, his wife Kamila, who pines for her lost youth, and their restless teenage children.
