About Vyprávěj
Vyprávěj follows the Dvořák family as Czechoslovakia shifts through decades of change, from the 1960s onward to later eras shaped by politics and culture. The drama keeps ordinary life at the center while history pushes in, testing loyalties, dreams, and the ties that hold a family together. To ground the story in a lived past, the show interlaces authentic film newsreels from the period with either the original Czech commentary or newly recorded historical voice overs by Vladimír Fišer. A narrator, first voiced by Vojtěch Kotek and later by Matěj Hádek, guides viewers through changing times, offering reflection between scenes. Rudolf Merkner shapes each episode so private moments echo public turning points. Its archive mood fosters lived memory and recollection.
Vyprávěj is a Czech drama created by Filip Bobiňski, Rudolf Merkner and Petr Šizling. The production anchors its world with period authentic footage and a narration that ties the family saga to a shifting political landscape across several decades.
Box office data does not apply to this television series, as it is a narrative program rather than a feature film and does not have worldwide grosses to report. It aired on Czech television and attracts a dedicated audience online.

By blending public events with intimate moments, Vyprávěj makes history feel personal and tangible for viewers, inviting reflection on memory and identity. Its style invites discussion about memory and media.
Reception highlights the blend of intimate family drama with broad historical moments, noting strong performances from Svatopluk Skopal and Veronika Freimanová. The series probes loyalty and resilience under shifting regimes, showing how political change reshapes ordinary life and family bonds across generations. The show stays with you after the credits.
