34 Days of Absolute Calm

1965 · 18 min · Documentary

A story about a man in a caravan who checks the suitability and abundance of water wells. A suggestive, sometimes ironic, but always biased portrait of modern Robinson. The film shows the flip side of the modern myth of returning to the bosom of nature.

Directed by Elo Havetta

MovieDocumentary
The documentary tribute to the solitary director Elo Havetta (1938-1975), the author of only two feature films (Celebration in the Botanical Garden and Wild Lilies), which belong to the peaks of Slovak cinema. In their time, they brought playfulness and spontaneity, which the authors of the documentary follow up with a happening in which they search for his legacy on the way to the director's grave.
