The poet Daniel Hradecký is the prime mover of a transgenre film about a journey into the depths of one's own consciousness. This black and white documentary parable looks into the soul of man through the interplay of sounds and raw images. Accompanied by dramatic music, several episodes unfold in the rough North Bohemian landscape, whose narrative is spun from fragments of the poet's texts and his memories, reconstructed by the film.
This movie was made by antifascists who have already chosen their attitude to the topic. We wont persuade you that the movie is objective in the usual sense. But we see its value in something else - the fact that we have been an active part of the events and that we were effectively shaping them. The movie of the Antifascist Action (AFA) monitors more than twenty years of the struggle against neo-Nazis, fascists and racists. The historic cross-section shows the multiple rises and falls of neo-Nazis and racists. You will witness the power as well as limited potential of the antifascist movement that doesnt deal just with neo-Nazis, but also with the repression of the state and the public opinion.
A reflection of today's world through mobile phone screens, where there is still time for love.

“Skala’s films combine the principles of informel painting and abstract expressionism applied to the media of film.

Swifts spend their entire lives in the air. They sleep while flying and are among the fastest birds in the world. The camera captures what their great speed makes impossible to see with the naked eye, the space-time of the swift's flight in the form of stages of flight, trajectories and curves. Swifts as a form of joy in the air as a form of home.
Creatively paraphrasing the work of Wilhelm Reich, the filmmakers have created a 3D animation of various objects, colored by theoretical considerations on the fetishization of goods and possibilities for liberating ourselves from the desire to amass property.
The generation conflict present in the daily disputes of a grandmother and granddaughter, the film director, lead to her decision to leave; the compact images of the gradual moving out of the house, bound by place and time, and the long, agonizing dialogues become a basis for the cruelly intimate documentary within private reality, where feelings mingle with reproach; and where, despite mutual blame, nobody is guilty, as the captured situation is accompanied by nothing but misunderstanding.
