SYNOPSIS
The longitudinal, acoustically dense personal documentary describes the difficult period of
recovery after a serious brain injury. There are two narrators: ten-year-old Vclav, whom we
hear before and after the injury, when he slowly, with difficulty, but with invincible optimism
describes his injury as well as his life in the sanatorium. His mother Andrea, who
accompanied him through the difficult times and during short interludes in the difficult
recovery period recorded coverage from the childrens pavilion as well as interviews with
parents of other ill children. The documentary records the unique environment of the Hamza
Specialist Sanatorium in Lue, which has a unique history and a remarkable founder from the
start of the 20th century Dr. Frantiek Hamza. Andreas diary entries are addressed to him
and she turns to him as to a spiritual guide during the difficult period of her sons treatment.
With curiosity she also takes out her microphone in various moments of curative therapies,
she captures leisure time of wheelchair-bound children and she tries to meditate on what
strange life situation destiny has set out for her and Vclav. Dont give up, really dont!
says fourteen-year-old Tereza with a lifelong handicap of cerebral palsy at the end and this
exclamation is also the strongest message of the documentary.
THE EXCERPT
The excerpt includes the majority of the programme from the start to the 25th minute. The
final part includes information about the results of Vclavs long-term rehabilitation and the
stories of child patients the listener became acquainted with during listening to the
programme.
The sequence has been selected to represent all elements present in the programme and to
make sense when put together (the accompanying text of Vclav + Andrea, Andreas diary
entries, reportage sequences, music score, interviews with therapists, patients
observations. The documentary consists of two larger stories the 14-year-old Tereza with a
life-long palsy and the six-year-old Arab kid Faris, who is on treatment in the Czech Republic
accompanied by his father. He naturally represents the fact that Arabs hold the Czech
rehabilitation school in high esteem and come to be treated here with full respect to the
rules of the Czech Republic. So the current topic of cooperation with Arab countries comes
up unexpectedly in the documentary through the fact that if a child is ill, the parent is always
in a difficult position and will do anything to save him or her, whether they are a Czech, Arab
or Syrian child.

Good morning, this is Aneka Hankov talking into the microphone. We will now tell you
what the situation is in the east-west part of north-south Iraq. We have our reporter there,
Vclav Hanek. Vclav, hello, what does it look like there in Iraq? Vclav Well, it looks
quite bad... Our soldiers are very tired... Vclav: Dear Santa, I want a tablet, an iPhone, and
also... Vclav: You put three eggs in, stir and... laughter

ANDREA
Youve been in a coma for five days, Vak. I ask How can we tell when you start waking
up?
The doctors call it Glasgow Coma Scale. You should be opening your eyes, reacting to stimuli,
speaking, following instructions. None of that is happening. But you can swallow, and thats
supposed to be good.

Not much is known yet about brain damage. The prognosis ranges from vegetative and
immobile to a return to an almost normal life.

VCLAV, edited sentences
What happened to me was that I was going to my friends house and a car ran over me.
Before the injury I was a normal boy who went to school, had quite good marks and also
good friends.
I dont remember several weeks at all, but I have one souvenir from that time, a scar on my
neck after tracheostomy.
At first I was at the ICU in Brno, then they transferred me to Ostrava to a hyperbaric
chamber. Then they moved me to the sanatorium in Lue - Koumberk.

The M Pavilion is a magical place really, because its for children from around the country,
wherever they come from.
TITLE Andrea
The M Pavilion. A documentary walk round the Hamza Sanatorium in Lue Koumberk. As
lived and recorded by Andrea and Vclav Haneks.
VCLAV
We play ptangue on the M Pavilion playground. Luk swings his arm and leans out of his
wheelchair. Terka has crutches and throws too. Ondra has perthes disease and he can play
ptangue quite well. Terezas dad does the measuring. Hes a professional fire-fighter.
ANDREA
Is this what you had in mind, Frantiek?
HAMZA Frantiek (quotation from his book, 1901)
It came to my mind that on the wonderful spacious plateau of the neighbouring village of
Koumberk, between the ruins of the Koumberk Castle and the Virgin Mary temple in
Chlumek, a new sanatorium should finally and permanently be built. A curative home in our
homeland, in open, clean air, in the flood of sunshine which would not be a chateau for the
chosen few but could serve every child individually and yet regardless of wealth.
CHAPTER SANATORIUM INTRODUCTION
REPO
People walking around the park, keys jingling, someone walking and pushing a wheelchair.
ANDREA
Weve only been here for five days, Vclav. Weve just found our bearings and I can already
feel we are healing. Both of us. You on a wheelchair, with your head supported, without any
words, fed, assisted on all fronts, and I... simply present and helping as much as I can.

THERAPIST
Theyve just brought us a child who is supine, doesnt communicate. We first need to teach
him to eat, thats the start. He needs to learn to ask to go to the toilet. Then he needs to
learn to sit and all that is a very long therapy. Sometimes its faster, sometimes slower and
sometimes unfortunately it ends in some development phase without any further progress.
But if there is progress then great, we can put the child on its feet so that the consequences
of the injury are as few as possible and that there is as little asymmetry as possible.

birch trees. Huge windows let in lots of light. Who guided you from the darkness to light,
Vclav? Who has led you back to life when it was such a close escape? I, too, need a soul to
accompany me
HAMZA Frantiek (quotation from his book, 1901)
Fly, faithful truth, through the wide world and herald a healthy spirit: Oh, give, give ailing
children suitable nourishment, sunshine and air!

up... keep walking on and continue
ANDREA
When doctor Frantiek Hamza founded the sanatorium in Lue he knew that curing requires
discipline, punctual regime, kindness and consistency. Thats how children with tuberculosis
were treated here at the turn of the 20th century and how it is treated here today.

Children in the M pavilion stay here with their parents. But Id be alone in the E Pavilion
which would be a great progress for me.
ZDENA, her mother
My name is Zdeka Chvojkov, I am Terezas mother. Weve been coming here for 14 years
and I remember when I came here the first time there were notice boards downstairs with
pictures of children with cerebral palsy. And I thought: We dont belong here at all! Because
still in her 15 months I didnt realise that the little girl of ours had palsy.
TEREZA
Im really happy today because Ive managed to sit on my heels which is really difficult for
me, because I couldnt do it for many years. Andrea: Congratulations, Tereza! Tereza: And
you should have heard mum when I told her on the phone, I thought she might cry!
ZDENA, her mother
The diagnosis is not easy, but you can work with it. I wont pretend to be a hero I cried and
cried over her the first year, because we exercised from her sixth day. She was prematurely
born, and when we did the exercises for a year and my child cried six times a day at home, I
cried over her too and asked myself if its worth it, when I cant see any progress. Only when
we came here did the progress start to show!
TEREZA
I dont think about it all that much. I was brought up with normal kids at school, but I know
that all children are like me. They may have palsy or epilepsy. Everyone has something. And
what would it be like if we were all the same? If we didnt have handicaps? Its a question of
life, of a moment. Someone is born with it, to someone it happens. My granny always says
that shes grateful for every day she can have. Even when it rains.

together like that. The wind outside rose in the evening, its eight oclock, through the large
windows we watch the branches of trees with hardly any leaves yet, we listen to the rustle in
the crowns of the large lime and birch trees. And I can hear Vclav whisper something this
is the fifth day hes been able to articulate some words, speech specialists have so far made
him say yeah and no. He lifted himself up on his elbows and looks at the fridge on which
theres a family photo from a trip. He recites what he can see: daddy, mummy, Aneka,

Mohammad: Exactly.
Faris is like many other kids here. For two years his parents didnt suspect anything, then
doctors diagnosed palsy. Faris is a beautiful, lively boy with large eyes and a mane of curly
hair. When he arrived he could only go in the lift. Now he walks down the stairs and jumps
down the last two.
REPO photo taking + ANDREA
Mohammad: We want to take a picture with Matyek. Is it okay? We bring you some
chocolate...
Done! Faris has a photo with Maty, he gives him a large bar of chocolate and contentedly
walks out of the M Pavilion.
We say good bye. What Faris liked the best in the seven long weeks of rehab was playing
with Maty and individual exercises with physiotherapist Radka. Mohammed and I wish
each other and our children lots of luck.
You see, Frantiek, you travelled to Swiss tuberculosis sanatoriums to learn, now people
from Arabia or America come to your sanatorium.

PHYSIOTHERAPIST RADKA
I think its because the rehabilitation here is very demanding, especially on the child. In other
countries they dont have such high demands and rehabilitation is very benevolent. It is
stressed that the patient can choose what they want to do. Not what they should do to
make their situation better.
REPO from rehabilitation
PHYSIOTHERAPIST RADKA
If the therapist is not consistent and says: Well, boy, youre crying, so lets stop... That way
you never get anywhere. If the results are good, its at the cost of tough training. You need
to be kind, but you mustnt make concessions.
REPO mechanotherapy
ANDREA
Eleventh week of rehabilitation: Exercising hypertonic trapezius, balancing stand, shifting
body weight, strengthening pelvic muscles. Hippotherapy Vclav raises his arms, his back
straight, his bottom fully sits. Leg mechanotherapy, load 3, left leg working at 41 per cent,
right at 59 per cent.

The M Pavilion would be full of energy, because children are full of energy. The atmosphere
here changes. If someone has a bad day, the atmosphere is not very good, and when the sun
shines, its wonderful here.

VCLAV
Various sportsmen always take one sportsman with a handicap and they ride bikes across
the whole country. Now they are running through the Hamza Sanatorium.
REPO before the race
To the start!
VCLAV
For this occasion there is also a run across the sanatorium grounds for everyone and I
wanted to run too.
REPO race
Three, two, one, start! Hurry up! Be careful, children!
ANDREA
Children on wheelchairs, children on tricycles, scooters, babies on push-bikes, mums with
pushchairs are running, riding, whizzing past us. Im holding Vclavs hand and we slowly run
along the edge of the road. It doesnt take long and everyone overtakes us. We are last.
Andrea in REPO - Vclav, whats wrong? What happened?
Vclav has never experienced this. He turns round and leaves without a word, disappears.
REPO
Vclav, whats up? Tell me what happened. The track is the other way. Are you tired?
VCLAV
During the race I wanted to run to the full, but my running partner, my colleague - my
mum, made me run endurance style, so that I could run to the end. Which made me angry,
so in the end I ended up not running at all. Have you forgiven me? - Frankly? Yes. No.
ANDREA
This is something I cannot figure out, Frantiek... How do I talk to a ten-year-old who was
overtaken by everyone?
