Clovek proti zkaze

A film about the last years of Karel Capek's life. Although the film is conceived as a family drama in which human relationships play an important role, its overall message is dominated by the social dimension. It can also be called 'Capek Against Destruction' - against the rising fascism in Central Europe, against the threat to fragile democratic freedoms. The film is a kind of mosaic of events and relationships that influenced Karel Capek and that come back to him in feverish dreams and memories during his illness.
