Franta and Ondra – political activists and participants in the Velvet Revolution – seem never to
have truly grown up. Withdrawn from society, the eccentric twins live in the magical mountains
of Bohemian Forest, surrounded by poetry and animals. Yet their peace is shadowed by growing
discord: adventurer Franta longs for change, while Ondra clings to the familiar. The closeness
that has sustained them all their lives begins to suffocate. Winner of the top prize at Karlovy
Vary, this hybrid documentary about the separation and reconciliation of kindred souls also casts
a nostalgic glance at a simpler way of life. Tragically, the film’s protagonist František died just
hours after the festival’s award ceremony.
Miro Remo

Mad in the Wild, won Best Film at Karlovy Vary.
