Better Go Mad in the Wild

The film by director Miro Remo (RICHARD MÜLLER: UNKNOWN, AT FULL THROTTLE) loosely develops the theme of the book of the same name by Aleš Palán and Jan Šíbík about the hermits of Šumava. The film's guides are twins František and Ondřej Klišík – eternal children living in a magical world with their domesticated animals. They share every day, every routine, every thought. Outwardly, they seem like mirrors of each other, but inside they are two completely different souls. Years of inseparable coexistence are beginning to overwhelm them. Franta dreams of escape, of flying, of the world beyond the walls that bind him. Ondra remains rooted in what he knows well. Is it even possible to escape when the whole world bears your own face? The film won the hearts of audiences and the jury at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, where it took home the grand prize.
