Parallel Worlds

Krystof, an architect whose main priority is his job, has been living for several years with Tereza, who has a somewhat different outlook on life. Their love story reveals the distinctness and contradictory nature of each person's subjective worlds and shows how the line between dream and reality differs in each and every one of us.

Directed by Petr Václav, Parallel Worlds leans on a strong ensemble — Karel Roden, Lenka Vlasáková, Martina Smuková — 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 2001.
