How Can We Help?
Larks on a String (Czech: Skřivánci na niti) is a 1969 Czech film directed by Jiří Menzel. The film was banned by the Czechoslovak government, but was later released in 1990 after the fall of the Communist regime.

It won the Golden Bear at the 40th Berlin International Film Festival.[1]
