Milan Klouda was born in Prague on 25 February 1935. His father Bohumil Klouda owned a cleaner factory in Všetaty which was nationalised in 1952. He witnessed the bombing of Vinohrady and Třebešín hill at the end of the war. Following the communist takeover in February 1948, he entered a grammar school but was only admitted after his mother intervened. He enrolled in aviation at the University of Economics after graduation. He joined Czechoslovak Airlines in 1959 and as a flight scheduler he often travelled abroad, especially to Luxembourg. Milan‘s brother Jiří tragically died in 1963. Faced with the invasion of the Warsaw Pact troops and struggling with psychological problems due the situation in the country, he and his wife Lída decided to move to Luxembourg. He worked for Luxair. He and his wife have two daughters, Andrea and Daniela, with whom he visited his mother in Czechoslovakia for the first time in twenty years in January 1990. He was living in Luxembourg at the time of filming.
