Tonight's double bill brings two takes on modern Czech life that focus on disaffected youth.

Second feature start time: 8:55 pm. A story of disaffected youth in Prague, Loners was a huge hit among young Czechs upon its release, largely because of its popular soundtrack. Starring Jiri Machacek (One Hand Can't Clap), this comedy follows the interconnected lives of seven young adults as they try to escape their loneliness by forging serious relationships. (David Ondricek, 2000; 104 mins.)

In Brats, a couple moves from Prague to the country in hopes of finding a better environment for their two adopted Romany sons. Their dream is shattered when an elderly man accuses one of the sons of shattering his windshield, stirring the prejudices of the couple's new neighbors. (Zdenek Tyc, 2002, 96 mins.)
