Set in the 19th century Prague, upon the birth of modern European society, Bohemian Rhapsody is a contemporary variation on the Faustian theme, telling the story of Czech dramatist Ladislav Stroupežnický, whose progressive approach and desire for greatness collide with his nation’s die-hard medieval thinking.

Ondřej Hudeček´s last short Peacock, which he also co-wrote with Jan Smutný, won Special Jury Prize at Sundance 2016. Bohemian Rhapsody will be his debut.
