Description�Why has my shitty life turned out like this? No-one knows. Not even God. God�s on holiday and he�s reading porn� � an excerpt from Diary of the Forgotten, the journal kept by the main protagonist in another of Helena T_e_t�kov�s long-term documentaries. With raw authenticity, the director records the luckless fate of Ren� over a period of twenty years as he yo-yos between prison and freedom. The life of Ren�, who successfully stylises himself in the role of a desperado, unfolds against a backdrop of important political events occurring in the Czech Republic and beyond its borders. The Velvet Revolution, the presidential election, 9/11 and the Czech Republic�s accession to the EU - all this is �digested� by Ren� mostly from the confines of various prisons.
