About: 'Why has my shitty life turned out like this? No-one knows. Not even God. God's on holiday and he's reading porn' Ð an excerpt from Diary of the Forgotten, the journal kept by the main protagonist in another of Helena T e t'kov‡'s long-term documentaries. With raw authenticity, the director records the luckless fate of René over a period of twenty years as he yo-yos between prison and freedom. The life of René, who successfully stylises himself in the role of a desperado, unfolds against a backdrop of important political events occurring in the Czech Republic and beyond its borders. The Velvet Revolution, the presidential election, 9/11 and the Czech Republic's accession to the EU - all this is 'digested' by René mostly from the confines of various prisons.
