Tma / Dveře do temnotySummary
The film’s story is played out on several time levels. A charismatic forty-year-old musician leaves the big city and moves to an old abandoned house in solitude where he lived as a child. His peace is disturbed by an unexpected relationship with a local girl and a return to his passion – painting. A forgotten place in the house evokes in him unsettling memories from his childhood connected with his older sister Tereza who has been in psychiatric treatment for a long time. The circumstances of the tragic accident by which the siblings lost their parents take on a fateful significance. Marek begins to think that there is a connection between the past horrible events and the present.
