Old-Timers

Czech Republic, Slovakia | 2019 | 90 min. | director: Martin Dušek, Ondřej Provazník | DoP: Lukáš Milota | screenplay: Martin Dušek, Ondřej Provazník | cast: Jiří Schmitzer, Ladislav Mrkvička, Dušan Kaprálik, Milena Steinmasslová, Michal Suchánek, Přemysl Bureš, Karel Jirák

A pair of former political prisoners (Jiří Schmitzer, Ladislav Mrkvička) embarks on an unconventional road movie to avenge the old injustices: to find and kill the communist prosecutor who condemned them years ago. The feature-length debut of filmmakers Dušek and Provazník shows an understanding poetic perspective and the absurd humour it uses to reflect on the past. In its form, the film refers to the documentary background of both authors.
