Hranice soucitu is another cooperation between the prestigious director Bohdan Sláma and producers Petr Oukropec and Pavel Strnad from Negativ. While their last joint and successful film Ice Mother thematized an unconventional love story in advanced age, the drama Hranice soucitu, which was granted CZK 900 000 (EUR 35 294), intends to capture both prejudice and persistent racism in the Czech society in the countryside.

The highest amount CZK 1 million (EUR 39 215) was granted to Resurections (Vzkříšení) by Petr Vaclav. The respected author (We Are Never Alone, The Way Out) prepares an ambitious international sci-fi drama about a society in the near future, which is planned as first part of tetralogy, and was one of three dystopian features supported in this call.

Two other dystopian dramas are produced by Marek Novák (Xova Film): Ordinary Failures tells remarkable and original story about one day in the life of three women living in a mysterious city and thematizes a new beginning in the chaos of postmodern world. The joint project of the screenwriter Klára Vlasáková and the director Cristina Groșan was supported CZK 800 000 (EUR 31 372). Vojtěch Strakatý’s Eternal Peace was granted CZK 700 000 (EUR 27 450), and focuses on the brink of ecological apocalypse in which a young girl must sell her family's belongings to pay off debts incurred by her father.

The Council supported three historical projects in this call - Arved, Pérák and 1938. Vojtěch Mašek’s Arved tells a story about a genius sentenced to life imprisonment for collaboration with the totalitarian regime while using his extraordinary memory to denounce old friends and summon the Devil. The project, produced by Cinémotif Films and set in the times of Nazi and Communist totality, was granted CZK 850 000 (EUR 33 333).

Marek Najbrt’s 1938 deals with a little-known period of Czech history right before World War II and received CZK 800 000 (EUR 31 372). Pérák (produced by Silk Films) is an adaptation of a successful theater play and focuses on the fictional superhero, that defended Czechs against Nazi Germany. The film, directed by Jiří Havelka, was supported with the amount of CZK 660 000 (EUR 25 882).

A mythological fairy-tale horror Divoký hon is a feature debut by the director Pavel Soukup which he prepares along with the screenwriter Petr Koubek. Both authors follow their previous horror short Leshy and for the development stage received CZK 800 000 (EUR 31 372). A sensitive topic of child abuse by the socially recognized authority thematizes Ondřej Provazník in Sbormistr (produced by endorfilm). The Film, which focuses on the social reflection of an abuse, was granted CZK 500 000 (EUR 19 607).
