Tankový prapor

Tankový prapor (1991) is a Czech comedy film about a conscripted university graduate, played by Lukáš Vaculík as Danny Smiřický, whose attitude clashes with his military superiors and their doctrine, exacerbated by his secret relationship with Janinka Pinkasová, the wife of a superior officer. Set against the backdrop of the post-World War II communist regime, the film follows Danny's struggles against the idiocy and "bossing around" of the officer corps. The movie script is based on a samizdat book by Škvorecký, inspired by his own experiences during military service.
