Old Men on Hops (DIGITALLY RESTAURED FILM) - DVD

“The story you’re about to see, which starts so strangely,
your child could have lived it, whether the family wanted it or not.
Your child could live it, and not just at the hop harvest
and if you think about it, it has achieved its purpose.”

The most famous Czech film musical, set during a student hop-picking brigade, now in a digitally restored version.
The plot follows a story of first love that clashes with the lack of understanding from classmates and teachers. The relaxed atmosphere of the mid-sixties allowed the creators to balance serious themes of morality and generational conflict with a satirical subtext.

DIGITALLY RESTORED FILM
Digital restoration is a frame-by-frame process that lets you see and hear the film just as audiences did when it was first released.
The digital enhancement process begins by scanning the film in 4K resolution. This uses special equipment with locating pins to ensure maximum image stability. This is followed by the removal of visual and audio imperfections in two phases – first semi-automatically, and then manually, cleaning frame by frame.
