A close match in mood and era.

More from Ondřej HudečekSee all →

A twisted gay romance set in the 19th Century picturesque Bohemia telling a tabooed true story of birth of one of the nation's most influential writers, starring Julius Feldmeier. Suspense, laughter, violence, hope, heart, nudity, sex and a happy ending—mostly a happy ending.

There is a classy speedwalker, there is a disabled beggar, there are saintly singers, there are free guns for everyone, there is an extremly heavy suitcase, there are cozy toilet stalls, there is an uncertain forecast, and it all has to make sense eventually, hasn’t it?

Lupyn returns from prison during the pandemic and plans another job. A local mob boss and a corrupt police lieutenant try to uncover who is disrupting their territory and profit from the situation.
