SCREENINGS
A crazy journey of travelling actor Mour, his wife Mama and their two sons in a scrawly caravan leads back home to Sázava-river region. Despite uncertain vision of the future, Mour continues to wear the mask of a cranky actor and does not want to give up his spiritual youth, even though he is haunted by the thought of human mortality everywhere on his travels. A crazy road movie based on Jáchym Topol's novel is a sensitive film where the characters hide their vulnerability and fragility behind grotesque grins. The visually impressive grotesque drama that was included in the main competition at this year's festival in Karlovy Vary offers a last glimpse of the Chotěšov cottage above the Radbuza river, which was burned down for the film.
