Půlnoční zpověď
The story of a man who sees his past lives from before he was born after being declared dead for the second time.
The Secret of Karma
A cruel picture of the ways in which human beings acquire power and then cling to it. The story of Father Ubu, an idiot who climbs over the bodies of the dead to his royal post, is presented with a touch of the grotesque where naive comic elements meet black humor. Using a human touch, the film- makers were able to transform the original into a film aimed at a contemporary audience while remaining faithful to the vision of Father Ubu and Mother Ubu venturing everything in their efforts to seize power and mammon.

The full-length film which, though based on Mozart's opera Don Giovanni, is more about the complexity of the time and the world.

The End of Old Times
