About the film

Two friends, actors Filip and Michal, go on a trip to Kuks. However, the atmosphere of the memorable and magical place turns the story in an unexpected, dramatic direction.

Film facts

The opportunity to create another MP's duo project arose when I was given an assignment at school to make a 1-3 minute film on the theme of Deadly Sins for credit in the Image Production course, with more emphasis on the cinematic language and understanding of the story than the technical component. I took my own approach and made the longest work of the year. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to shoot in the grounds of Kuks Castle, as I would use the motif of M. B. Braun's allegorical sculptures of vices, and so I devised the story based on that. The central characters were played by Michal Pazderka a Filip František Červenka, who also contributed to the spot script, my classmate helped us with the camera spolužák Matěj Matouš, and even though it was shot on three different sources, the result achieved its effect.
