Nepodepsaný knoflík

A pair of rural detectives are searching for the murderers of old Vodička. He was an unpleasant old man who apparently witnessed a crime at some point in the past. The pair slowly unravels the threads of a case that reaches deep into the past. However, the old events have long been shrouded in the fog of oblivion and the village's unwillingness to reveal secrets that personally affect each of its inhabitants. In the end, as is often the case, chance comes to the rescue, and an ordinary shirt button becomes indirect evidence of the murder...

Directed by Petr Kotek, Nepodepsaný knoflík leans on a strong ensemble — Oldřich Vlach, Jan Zadražil, Jiří Holý — 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 crime titles of 2003.
