"Like a dream you long to return to" (The New Yorker), this "veritable masterpiece" (Screen International) revolving around love, sex, and politics is "a near miracle" (Variety) of filmmaking. Nominated for two Academy Awards and starring Oscar winners Daniel Day-Lewis and Juliette Binoche as well as Lena Olin, it is a stunning, erotic romance that "shows us just how beautiful love and happiness can be" (L.A. Weekly). Tomas (Day-Lewis) is a carefree Prague surgeon, whose life is fulfilled by two women : his loyal wife Tereza (Binoche) and his wantonly sexy mistress Sabina (Olin). But when Russian tanks roll into town to squash Czechoslovakia's 1968 uprising, his idyllic love triangle abruptly ends when all three flee to Geneva... and Tereza uncovers her husband's infidelities.
