A documentary about the unique discovery of the long-lost Vivaldi opera Argippo. Antonio Vivaldi's Argippo was originally composed for a Prague debut in 1730. Lost for centuries, the opera's score was discovered by the young Czech conductor Ondřej Macek. Almost as remarkable as the discovery of this lost masterpiece was the process of recreating the work. Dan Krames' film observes, gloriously, the gradual birth of the modern-day world premiere of Argippo and the search for an authentic Baroque interpretation of it. It confirms the genius of Argippo, the most significant opera "written for Prague" before Mozart's Don Giovanni.
Three "miniatures" touching on romantic relationships between men and women from different perspectives. Matěj, a young vegetable garden guard and lover of idleness and village women, spends the night in the grass with Agáta, the wife of a switchman, even though he is not particularly interested in the unsatisfied woman. Voloďa, a young man growing up without a father, is confused about his feelings for the married thirty-year-old Míša, who seduces him on a whim and then rejects him. The hunter with a "free spirit" refuses to spend even a single day with his unhappy village wife, whom the mayor (who first got him drunk) married him to years ago out of envy for his shooting skills.
