Opuštěný vesmír; Peter Hledík, 2015, OV (sk, cz; Peter Hledík, 2015, versions: OR,

What awaits us after death remains a mystery, even though we doggedly seek an answer. Does this question even make sense? This documentary is about death and dying and about two (im)possibilities of life after death. In the first view, we take a look at current scientific knowledge which does not exclude some form of endurance for the human substance even after physical death. In the second one, we look into the author’s personal experience with the death of a beloved and at how well-known personalities in the art-world cope with mortality.
