Full of star actors, the drama Burning Bush is based on real events and real characters. Its main character is lawyer Dagmar Burešová (Tatiana Pauhofová), who decided to defend Jan Palach’s mother Libuše (Jaroslava Pokorná) and her brother Jiří (Petr Stach) in a seemingly hopeless court case. The cause of the libel suit filed by the family of the dead student was the scandalous accusation by Communist MP Vilém Nový (Martin Huba), who spoke out at a Communist party meeting in Česká Lípa and downplayed Palach’s sacrifice with some nonsense about “cold fire”. The husband of the courageous lawyer – both of them are forced to cope with the pressure of pro-Soviet collaborators – is played by Jan Budař. (HBO Europe)
