Dark Blue World Released
1950. František Sláma, former pilot and war hero, is now the peoples enemy. Once an elite RAF fighter pilot is now kept in a political prison where he has to fight pneumonia instead of the German Luftwaffe. In the prisons sick bay Sláma meets two men who, like him, are also serving time because of their past: a former SS-doctor Blaschke and sign writer Vilda Houf listen to Slámas story of courage, friendship, love and treason. Everything began with the occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1939, as František Sláma decided to leave his girlfriend HaniÄŤka and his country to defend his motherland as a military fighter pilot. His pupil, the young, hot-headed man and talented pilot Karel Vojtíšek joined Sláma on his way to Britain. In the foreign country with a different language and habits Franta and Karel became best friends.
Serving in the Royal Air Force meant risking ones life every day, and in spite of that the Czechoslovak pilots could not wait to take off against the enemy. When they finally did, the death started to choose among them. At that time also Sláma could hear in his earphones Vojtíšeks Spitfire going down to the ground in flames. Yet he still refused to believe that his friend was not coming back from his mission. And Karel did not disappoint him. He jumped down with a parachute and arrived at the airport the following morning, absolutely happy. "I fell down on a woman and fell madly in love with her," the excited Vojtíšek told Sláma. František wished him his first true love from the bottom of his heart: he would not have occurred to him that after a fateful encounter with the Englishwoman Susan things would never been the same againâ??
