Synopsis
"Ultimum refugium" means “the last refuge” where we can hide when conditions are averse. That is our most fundamental position and a departure point of this project. Secondly and consequently, it is a film-collage structured along documentary footage with radical poetic means. The place: here (Czech Republic), there (Europe) and everywhere (Cosmos). The topic: the end – understood in the whole range of its meanings. On one side, the end is embodied in second thermodynamic law and, on the other side, the end is a tragedy that only mankind sees: the death. The film is an attempt to catch and let live both the eternity and the ephemeral moment in sound and image. It is a testimony combining sublime and poor, sacral and profane, barbarous and volatile. Selection of in-game professions: presidents, trade unions, free-mason, ship builder, ornithologist, old slavonic historian, designer, communist, priest, writer, prostitute, druid, sheep-killer and others.
