Avion Film & Sound

An original portrayal of a small Czech village where – as the locals put it – an UFO has landed in the form of a kilometre-long silverish factory: a Korean Hyundai automobile plant. The village, hitherto famous mostly for its sauerkraut and the “Radegast” beer was thus turned into an industrial zone – the largest greenfield investment project in the Czech Republic’s history. Nonetheless, for a long time many farmers resisted selling the land upon which the factory was now standing. Eventually, they all succumbed under the pressure from the neighbours, and even the anonymous death threats. The filmmakers returned to Nošovice two years after the dramatic property buyouts, at the time when the factory has just started churning out cheap cars. Combining the perspectives of seven characters, they have composed a portrayal of a place suddenly changed beyond recognition that is playful and chilling at the same time: a politically engaged absurd flick about a field that yields cars.

The aging couple might have been enjoying a gracious autumn of their lives had it not been for a crack in the wall that revealed a secret that changed their lives forever. A secret that became a nightmare. A secret of the past... Can the past kill? A loving couple enters the abandoned house she has chosen as a meeting place one wet and rainy morning. It could have been an ordinary date. On inspection, they enter a room with only a small window and one door. Suddenly the door closes... an eye watches them through a crack in the wall. That eye doesn't bode well!

Libor, a former teacher, enjoys a well-paid position as a bank manager, living in a luxurious villa outside Prague. His business partners are taken into custody and the authorities have a few questions for him to answer. Rather than wait around, he decides to take off to Moravia with his wife and two children. In the process, he pretends that everything is normal, rediscovers the value of family life, meets up with a former colleague lost in provincial obscurity, and becomes the object of a manhunt. Libor is not a criminal type, merely someone who signs cheques and is drawn into a business world failing to recognise its own criminality (he doesn’t even flee the country).

Frantisek Soukenický is a psychiatrist with an apparent life in order ... until the appearance of a former lover scorned. She ends her career and Frantisek ends without a job, his wife (who left him for another man) and homeless. He doesn´t have choice but to start from scratch, and know that everything that happened was his fault. Abandonment, reunions, commitment and the suffering caused certain relationships when they reach their final part of this film that combines drama with dry humor.

A bittersweet summer story about the emotional isolation of two young friends in the closed world of a boarding school in a small spa town. A long-awaited agency arrives in town looking for new faces in the modeling world. A dubious casting call begins, one of the last opportunities to escape the boredom of everyday life. Lenka is determined to get her way, but her plans to break through with her beauty cannot be thwarted by her friend Anička, who no longer wants to stay in Lenka's shadow, her distrustful boyfriend Petr, or the manic-depressive photographer Dan and his assistant Filip. A big game is unfolding in a small space where childhood dreams mix with adult whimsy and hidden desires with hidden hatreds.

Based on the novel by Jáchym Topol. Potok works as a set designer in a small theater. He is in his thirties and his life is essentially going nowhere. He views his surroundings and himself with contempt. His aimless life only changes when he meets Černá. The couple in love escapes from the city. Inevitably, however, they once again encounter human calculation, shallowness, and bad taste. Potok falls back into his former skepticism, which leads to the total breakdown of their relationship. Černá leaves him, and a desperate Potok slowly comes to a more conciliatory attitude toward the world, where there is no longer any place for great love and dark romance. Unlike Jáchym Topol's literary work of the same name, which takes place during the three years after 1989, the film ignores the time frame. It focuses on the hero's internal conflicts, which are timeless.
