Plots(1)

I like parrots, monkeys, gas masks and Czechs, boasts a little girl in a tenderly honest sociological film-survey that asks children aged four to five what the words home, nation and homeland mean. We are home when we are not out, home has no name, it is a feeling. Patriotism comes afterwards, we learn Europeanism and Czechism. Nation becomes home, a shelter and a trap.
