Stíny bezmoci

An auteur film by Matouš Vaďura, inspired by the work of Egon Hostovský, depicts the escape of the protagonist from the headquarters of a totalitarian state, where he is constantly consumed by fear and paranoia of arrest, a threat he faces as a writer. Hardened by the pervasive arbitrariness of the regime, he flees from his beloved, with whom he is unable to experience a fulfilling relationship due to his self-imposed isolation and fear. He embarks on a restorative journey during which he begins to realize the harrowing shortsightedness of his decision. This experimental road movie is filmed using a “spontaneous method” on a “diary-like” Super 8mm camera, where capturing fleeting beauty in the moment is essential for the filmmaker.

Reclusive and controversial author Bruce Cogburn is drawn out of hiding by an obsessive fan, forcing the novelist to confront a past that he thought he could escape, and to account for events set in motion by his bestseller decades earlier. Cogburn's search for who is behind the manipulation and mental torment he encounters leads to an emotional roller-coaster ride full of fear and danger, where things are not always as clear as they seem to be, and where past deeds can have dire consequences.
