In the Fiction Tuesdays series, the Czech Centre Bucharest screens the film "Kouř / Smoke" (Tomáš Vorel, 1991, 89 min.) on 10 November 2026, at 19:30. Young engineer Mirek arrives at a factory where he is supposed to find a solution to pollution, but he runs up against the unwritten rules of the place and the incompetence of the management. Vorel describes it as a "musical of the totalitarian era", combining political satire, theatre of the absurd and musical numbers. Over time the film has become a cult title of post-communist Czech cinema.
The film has English subtitles, and the Czech beer Budweiser Budvar is on the house. Entry is free, no reservation required: doors open at 19:15, and seats are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. The screening is organised by the Czech Centre Bucharest, with the support of the Embassy of the Czech Republic and Budweiser Budvar. Details: www.facebook.com/events/40942900888633927
