Smoke on the Potato Fields
Dým bramborové natě
1977 · 1h 34m · Drama · Czechoslovakia
A stout middle-aged physician whose marriage has come apart establishes a practice in a small town. Gradually he's drawn into the lives of his patients—a childless couple, a pregnant girl with a stern mother, the son of a duck farmer—and each relationship reveals a bit more about him and the idyllic but insular community.
