Oscar for Emily

Oscar for Emily is a conversational comedy with surprising twists by authors Folker Bohnet and Alexander Alexy, translated by Magdalena Štulcová and directed by Petr Slavík.

They pass the time before the evening ceremony with discussions about appropriate attire and reminiscences.
