Raspberry Coctail

Story of a high-schooler who fails to gain a place at university and necessarily finds herself having to take a job behind the counter at a buffet.

Directed by Ladislava Sieberová, Raspberry Coctail leans on a strong ensemble — Yvetta Kornová, Marek Brodský, Jiří Kodeš — 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 1983.
