Epic's Ways
Is The Slav Epic truly "a child who died at birth?" On the background of a journey of the twenty magnificent paintings film investigates in several thematic lines phenomena associated with a perception of the majestic legacy of Alphonse Mucha and his own - in many ways contradictory - personality. Art historians, philosophers, politicians, heirs, Japanese visitors, Czech parvenus and American philanthropists dispute and complement each other on various tableaux vivants, weaving a tissue of reflection which - although not easily fathomable - soundly proves The Slav Epic to be a baby still bloody alive.
Slav Epic Complex
Do we have an "epic" complex in a sense that we see “all too epic” as a relict of intentions that wanted to include everything in certain sphere? Does the Slav Epic has a complex of us who have not been able to agree for more than a hundred years, where is her place - permanent residence and sense? What happens when - in the midst of this obscurity - Alphonse Mucha's Slav Epic all of the sudden visits Japan?
Human Beeing
The relationship between people and bees is one of the best mapped phenomena in human history. In most cultures, the honey bee used to be considered a sacred animal and enjoyed great respect. Today, due to our irresponsible interventions in nature, it is facing extinction. Together with Honeymen, two amateur beekeepers from Brno, we set out to search for an answer to how to save the bees. However, it soon becomes clear that it is not only the bees that are dying; it is also something in us. Human Beeing is a reflection upon modern humans losing their relationship both to nature and to themselves. It is not a film about the bees but with the bees. It is about humility, faith and dying humanity at a time of increasing dominance of technology.
