A filmed explication and a discovered script, composed of melodies and images for a film that was once supposed to be made. In the beginning was Bohuslav Martinů's cantata Kytice – or rather, its part titled "Man and Death", a musical adaptation of Sušil's collection of folk poetry. Inspired by it, writer and painter Ivan Matoušek created an eschatological still-life that then influenced his novel The Ego. This path is followed not just by the story of the film's creation but by the film itself, a brief depiction of man on the road towards death, moving slowly amidst a waving field. Images become a parable of our own mortality. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)

English Audiovisually, it is an experience where the years of hard work can be seen down to the last second. And yet you don't just need to meet the script halfway, but most of the way – and that may still not be enough. For those tuned into pure evil, for viewers open to breathtaking introspective stimuli.
