One summer day, little Jan, the only descendant of the knight Bořek, puts on his child’s armour and runs away from home in search of the Holy Land. Having no idea where he is going, however, he soon loses his way. The anxious father sets out in search of his son, yet it seems luck is not on his side. He encounters people who have seen the boy, but he always arrives too late. Bořek gradually succumbs to despair, his confused thoughts disintegrate, and the surrounding landscape becomes the landscape of his mind. Six years after his successful debut Eighty Letters, Václav Kadrnka again conjures up a stylistically well-contoured piece, in this case an adaptation of a poem by Jaroslav Vrchlický. With its sparing plot and formal inclusion of silence, he encourages our imagination to engage in a poetic, cinematic pilgrimage as we witness a boy’s adventure, a broken bond between a father and son, and the promise of redemption.
