Kryštof (2021)
Krystof lives as a fresh postulant in a community of monks. With his brothers, he not only shares a world of contemplation, but also transfers people persecuted by the Communist regime across the border to Germany. One night, he witnesses the liquidation of his monk community and their transport. The place where he put his hopes and faith is destroyed, and now he is alone on the run. He understands that this is his last chance to rebel against a brutal political power and save a loved one.
