She spent thirty years trying to leave. This is the story of why she came back. Jítka Vlčková was born in Czechoslovakia in the early 1960s — into a country that had already decided the shape of her life. This is her story, adapted from an original biographical short documentary written by Xio. A woman, a border, and thirty years of waiting for a life that kept moving without her. Presented in the warm spirit of classic radio. Running time: 20 minutes. Sponsoring tonight's drama — Lady Venus Permanent Hair-Set by Klenco.
