A fantasy view of the true story of Prague's Velvet Revolution, where an underground motley crew of artists overthrow the Communist Dictator.

SYNOPSIS:

Mila grows up under strict Communist rule in Prague, a painter whose works echo into events in real life. She flees her tyrannical father to find an underground motley crew of artists, led by handsome Mark. Mark gives up his artistry to support Mila so she grows stronger, as do the effects of her paintings. The Dictator cruelly tries to stamp out the Resistance and captures most of the artists including Mark. Vaclav, one of the artists who was not captured, realises Mila's powers and, doubting his own, gets her to agree to write a play with him which frees Prague. But when Mila goes home to help her mother, who her father has made ill, he has her put in a psych ward and drugged. Vaclav has to finish the play himself and have it performed by a group of children. Mark escapes and confronts Mila's father, causing him to have an accident and on his death bed sign a release for Mila. With Vaclav's play confronting the lies of the Leader being played in Prague's Central Square and Mila safe in England making artworks of a free City, Prague does become a Capital of Culture, with the artists dreams all become reality.
