The Coward

Directed by Jiří Weiss

Written by Ivan Bukovčan, Jiří Weiss, Ota Ornest, Miloš Brož

In a remote Slovak village in the closing days of World War II, a schoolteacher and his young wife find a wounded Russian parachutist in their front yard just as the Germans are coming in to occupy their village. As his wife readily becomes involved with anti-Nazi partisans, the schoolteacher collaborates with the Germans in fear.
