What Is Elective Affinities About?
The premise of Elective Affinities without spoilers.
A documentary that examines Czechoslovakia’s turbulent political climate in March 1968, when hard‑line Stalinist President Antonín Novotný resigned and the more moderate communist Ludvík Svoboda was elected. It then follows the subsequent five months leading to the August 1968 Soviet‑led Warsaw Pact invasion that abruptly ended the Prague Spring.
