Jak kino czechosłowackie detonowało bombę atomową, czyli o czym opowiada film Jindřicha Poláka "Jutro wstanę rano i oparzę się herbatą" (1977)
How the Czechoslovak Cinema Detonated the Atomic Bomb, That Is What Jindřich Polák’s Film "Tomorrow I’ll Wake up and Scald Myself with Tea "

Summary/Abstract: Jindřich Polák’s film Tomorrow I’ll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea (Zítra vstanua opařím se Cajeme) of 1977 is neither the first nor the last attempt to “detonate” an atomicbomb by the Czech filmmakers. However, this science fiction comedy uses the Wells’sconcept of time travel to entertain a viewer with what the contemporary discourse calls thecounterfactual history or simply considerations on “what if...”. The film was made inthe peak period of normalization, thus all the historiosophical, ideological or politicalallusions are deeply hidden. Despite the futuristic context, diegesis is recognizable andcontemporary at the same time, and thus full of ambiguous motivations of characters.The atomic bomb, therefore, is not merely a decorative artifact around which the maincharacters move.
