A film about the end of the world and the end of a roll of toilet paper. In his deftly playful work shot on 16mm, filmmaker (and musician) Ondřej Vavrečka reminisces, says his farewells and also reflects on the limits of progress. Via three fictional characters, each of whom responds differently to the impulses of their surroundings, he simultaneously enhances the sensitivity of the film audience. Will a pain we experience leave a scar or merely a colourless memory? And will someone remember the old Vysočany station a hundred years from now? In its poetic charm this cinematic piece is almost tactile in nature; it awakens all the senses and, in places, bears the hallmark of Jan Švankmajer, if the latter had been born an essential optimist, that is. Film as a whisper emanating from smiling lips. (Viktor Palák, KVIFF)

An epic animated fantasy anthology film intertwining six storylines from China's classic supernatural story collection "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" by Pu Songling. The six stories center on Lanruo Temple, an ancient ruin haunted by spirits. Weaving in classic tales like "Taoist from Laoshan Mountain," "Princess Lotus," "Nie Xiaoqian," "The Painted Skin" and "The Daughter of Magistrate Lu." These stories — spanning humans, ghosts and demons — explore love, death and morality against shifting time. The film merges six distinct styles into one anthology. For example, "Taoist from Laoshan Mountain" uses felt-textured animation, while "The Painted Skin" mirrors Song dynasty painting aesthetics.

By knowing oneself, a person knows the whole world. Refusal of self-knowledge distances a person from God. What does a woman seek in a man's world? What passionate and vague dreams control her? The painful search for the Ideal in an imperfect world is realized by a love triangle. While men measure their strength in the fight for a woman, her subconscious has already equalized them in weakness, because next to her Ideal, they are both just insignificant shadows. Perhaps the reason for the collapse is the very existence of an abstract Ideal, which inevitably gives rise to a comparative analysis of the surrounding men, and, as a result, the impossibility of choice. The happiness of motherhood for this woman lies in the absence of a reason for comparison, because the child is certainly pure and beautiful.
