Synopsis
A semi-autobiographical work constructed as a dialogue between director Jan Nemec and his dead mother. The film combines haunting and evocative images of Nemec's journey to his mother's graveside with material from his life - his marriages to screenwriter and designer Ester Krumbachova and singer Marta Kubisova, his filming of the Russian invasion in 1968, and a compelling montage of his exile in California. A counterpart to Kafka's 'Letter to the Father', it is both formally complex and strangely youthful, echoing the visual power of his earlier films.
