Lesní chodci

In the story of two generations searching for a fixed point in their lives, the film offers a reflection on the possibilities of escaping the reality of place, time and human responsibility. In a narrative between fiction and documentary, the past and the present are intertwined, and events both lived and written. The film takes advantage of the atmosphere of Ústí nad Labem and the unique possibilities of the Drama Studio of that time. It is linked to the theatre by the actor Jiří Schmitzer, who was a member of the ensemble for ten years, as well as the actress Jitka Prosperi and Miroslav Bambušek, who was a guest director and author there. However, the actors who also appeared on the stage of the Drama Studio were Čerčil's representative - former stage technician Zdeněk Novák, former wardrobe mistress Petra Poláková and inspector Ester Hocke.

Directed by Ivan Vojnár, Lesní chodci leans on a strong ensemble — Jiří Schmitzer, Jitka Prosperi, Zdeněk Novák — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2003.
