Life with Jester

Overview

For 23 years, Helena Třeštíková followed the story of actor and stage director Jakub Špalek.

Back then, Jakub dreamed of running his own theatre company which soon came true - he is still in charge of Kašpar Theatre in Prague. The film documents the difficult life of an independent theatre manager, as well as his many personal struggles and joys.
