Series synopsis
Bohéma is a drama television series that premiered on ČT1 on January 15, 2017. It ended on February 19, 2017. It was created by Robert Sedláček. It stars Michal Balcar, Michal Dlouhý, Jaroslav Plesl and Judit Pecháček.
Barrandov Studios, once one of Europe’s most modern film factories, became both a cultural refuge and a propaganda tool under Nazi occupation, churning out Czech comedies and romances to keep the public distracted while its actors mingled with German authorities. After the war, many of those same stars faced accusations of collaboration, their meteoric Protectorate-era fame tainted by the compromises they made to keep the cameras rolling under shifting regimes.
