About Můj přítel Fabián
The story of a gypsy named Fabian, who came to work in Kunčice, and his son. Their lives change fundamentally on the great construction site of socialism. They both learn to read and write; Fabian becomes a skilled welder, and little Fabian is accepted into the pioneer organization. However, their transformation is not easy, it is not without many encounters, just like the transformation of Fabian's co-workers, many of whom have not yet overcome their racist prejudices.
Directed by Jiří Weiss, Můj přítel Fabián leans on a strong ensemble — Otto Lackovič, Dušan Klein, Ladislav Chudík — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1955.
