Occupation ( Czech: Okupace) is a 2021 Czech comedy drama film directed by Michal Nohejl. In addition to Nohejl, Marek Šindelka and Vojtěch Mašek also participated in the script. The film was based on a story from the period of normalization, when a Russian soldier walks into the theater after the performance among the celebrating actors and the actors have to decide how to deal with the hated occupier.
