Young painter František Kupka, aka Francek, is growing up in the mystical spiritistic region of the foothills of Eagle Mountains in the Czech Republic, the region of peculiar amateur writers and artists, a land embroidered with generous baroque art. We are introducing Kupka in perhaps the most fragile and crucial period of his life – his adolescence. He is 15, profoundly sensitive, with a rich inner world. In a magical-realism short film, on the background of a Czech countryside of the end of the 19th century, a future painter is born struggling with the surroundings, as well as with himself.
