Tomas Zmeskal – Zivotopis cernobileho jehnete ( Biography of a black and white lamb)

Translation: Christina Frankenberg

The wins Lucie and Václav are growing up in Prague between 1960 and 1980 during the period of normalization. They differ from their surroundings not only because they are growing up without parents with their grandmother and handicapped uncle but mainly because they have a different color of skin - their father coming from Africa. This otherness in the world of the then openlyracist society brings them into troubles which they can best face together.
