A Man Who Painted the Sea

Muž, který maloval moře

Directing: Karel Čtveráček

Synopsis

Shortly before his death - in the seclusion of a small Prague flat - Jindřich Vik, a bank clerk and a naive painter, took his brush and water colours and started painting in an outburst of creative effort that lasted for a year and resulted in hundreds of drawings, mapping almost all his life. We embark on a journey back through time and in his drawings relive the most humble moments of a human life, seeing an old man bent over a yellow sheet of paper, struggling with his imagination and memory, turning back once again to look at his life and trying to grasp its meaning.
