Schmitke

Czech Lion winner SCHMIDKE - a journey into the mind of an unfortunate man - is set in the fog of the Erzgebirge Mountains in the Czech Republic is a story set somewhere between comedy and mystery. Directors note: The film is based on a short story by the writer and screenwriter Tomáš Končinský entitled “Julius Schmitke slipped through death’s fingers like an awkward seal”, which immediately captured my interest. It is a story set somewhere between comedy and mystery, somewhere in the fog of the Ore Mountains, full of the atmosphere of this mysterious stretch of land, its history and its people. With Peter Kurth, Lana Cooper, and Johann Jürgens.
