Hranice stínu

A screen adaptation of a novel by Catholic prose writer Jan Čep which came out of an Olomouc film theory class. This black-and-white movie, clearly inspired by lyrical Czech films of the sixties, transfers the plot to the present day: 30-year-old Prokop leaves the big city and returns to the village of his birth in order to regain the energy he's lost through a disappointing love affair.
