Honza was born in 1974 into the cheerless era of socialism in Czechoslovakia. At that time, his parents Jana and Petr lived in one room in the apartment of Jana's divorced mother and her widowed grandmother. A few years later, the family moved from Prague to Liberec where Petr found a job and a little house for the family. When Honza was born, his father began writing a family chronicle and he has continued to do so for 37 years. "Private Universe" show not only the life of one ordinary family, but also how the Czech society has changed in last four decades. Who are we, where do we come from and where do we go?

[DOK.fest] One of the director's best "time-lapse documentaries", establishing different levels of narration. The diary written by Petr, the father; the rebellious life of the first-born Honza (the baby in the short film "Miracle" (1975)); and the political trajectory of the Czech Republic, represented in the constant presence of the song star Karel Gott. These different layers, however, fit together perfectly.
