Atmospheric and likable and engaging. Non-standard characters and a rural environment strangely reminiscent of my childhood in 1970s West Germany. Are there still houses in the Czech Republic that have no indoor plumbing? The film makes us believe so. A few post- modernist monikers, such as cellphones, computers, and the PET bottle from which the peasant woman drinks her home-made cider cannot prevent the bad guy's convertible from looking just outlandish, like a UFO on wheels.
And yet there is one thing about the plot that worries me. What if the teacher were straight and the student he molested were a female? Would it still be acceptable by the (double) standards of 21st-century political correctness if the victim's mother insisted on her daughter to forgive the molester? I doubt it and imagine a public outcry not only from the feminist side. The gay rapist may be forgiven, the straight one may not. We have come a long way. The Czechs even more so.
