Adopted text on the work: An intimate affirmation of Jan Zrzavý. Archival black-and-white footage of the renowned Czech painter is accompanied by reenacted scenes and sentimental music that, far from presenting a fragmentary, inconsequential story, evoke the bittersweet feeling of remembering memories. Just as Zrzavý was strongly influenced by Julius Zeyer (not for nothing does the archival footage show him standing by the great writer’s grave), so too does Michal Pěchouček have an affinity for Jan Zrzavý. The film was made for the Jan Zrzavý retrospective at the National Gallery. With: Petr Mastroianni, Kateřina Zochová; voices by: Johana Švarcová, Petr Marek, Marian Moštík.
