Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea (1977)

We continue Czechtember 2020 with a look at Jindrich Polak's Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea (1977). Based on a story from Josef Nesvadba and co-written by Milos Macourek, the film stars Petr Kostka as both Jan and Karel Bures, twin brothers, one of who has helped invent a rocket that allows people to travel through time.

A group plans to rent out a rocket just for them and, rather than going back to do a little sport hunting in the time of the dinosaurs like Ray Bradbury’s A Sound of Thunder, they want to go back to 1944 and speak to one Adolf Hitler...
