Shy teenage virgin Milo gets his first job as a railway dispatcher and is suddenIy forced to confront the reaIities of the aduIt world, not Ieast the temptations of the opposite sex. But they in turn are more attracted to his more experienced coIIeague Hubi ka and his distinctive way with an inkpad and rubber stamp... This couId easily have fuelIed a Iight comedy, but Ji í Menzel s bittersweet feature debut is set during World War II in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia, and the various farcical goings-on threaten to distract attention from the far more pressing business of staying aIive especially since German trains are being attacked by resistance fighters and everyone is under suspicion of colIaboration. Co-written by the great Czech novelist BohumiI Hrabal (author of the cIassic source noveIIa), CIoseIy Observed Trains won Menzel a Best Foreign FiIm Oscar when he was stiII in his twenties, and it remains one of the best-Ioved of aIl Czech fiIms.
