Sumario:Czech filmmaker Ivan Zachariáš offers a complex spy plot in The Sleepers in the previous weeks to the Velvet Revolution, which ended four decades of communism in Czechoslovakia. The film locations of this TV serie depersonalize the monumental Gothic and Baroque Prague of another audiovisual productions to collect an interesting catalog of rationalist architecture, as the building Dum Radost (Karel Honzík y Josef Havlícek) – clearly influenced by Le Corbusier–, the headquarters of the sport organization Sokol (František Marek, Václav Vejrych y Jaroslav Kabeš) or the Strašnice Crematorium (Alois Mezera). These scenarios, which make possible to recreate from diplomatic spaces to the offices of the Czechoslovak political police (ŠtB), also visit historicist Prague of Václav Roštlapil or the socialist architecture of František Jerábek, architect for the International Hotel. A new cinematographic view, definitely, to one of the most architecturally diverse cities in Europe.
