Based on actual events, this psychological chamber drama plays out against the picturesque backdrop of northeast Bohemia’s Orlické Mountains. It centres on the relationship between mentally disabled Emil Mácha (Jiří Lábus) and his nephew (Martin Dejdar). Joined by fate, at least for a time, they gradually develop a bond that demonstrates the strength of friendship. But this powerful bond is tested by those who would, for various reasons, divide them. This is a film in part about a confrontation between two noble-minded protagonists and those who have long lost any semblance of nobility, driven instead by ruthless selfishness. A film about how even a hard life can be made harder still. (Art Film Fest)
