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. Show more

Desaťdielny dokumentárny cyklus o medzinárodnom festivale populárnej piesne Bratislavská lýra, ktorý ovplyvnil nielen dianie na tejto scéne, ale aj vývoj populárnej hudby v Československu od roku 1966 až po Nežnú revolúciu. Počas 30-tich rokov svojej existencie nielenže upriamil pozornosť na malú krajinu v srdci Európy, ale stal sa pýchou medzinárodného združenia festivalov populárnej hudby združených vo Federation of International Festivals Organization. Od svojho vzniku v roku 1966 bol v socialistickom Československu vždy akýmsi závanom slobody, keďže na ňom účinkovali nielen najlepší československí interpreti, ale aj celý rad zahraničných hviezd prvej veľkosti ako boli Josefine Baker, Cliff Richard, Gilbert Bécaud, Mireille Mathieu, Sandy Shaw, Drupi, Stevie Wonder, Amanda Lear alebo Joe Cocker. Hoci sa počas svojej existencie festival nevyhol ideologickým vplyvom, politickým zásahom, finančnému podhodnoteniu, technickým a technologickým nedostatkom či rozdielnym pohľadom na samotnú populárnu hudbu vplyvom rôznych naturelov dvoch národností, napriek tomu bol štartom pre viaceré generácie autorov a interpretov. Víťazstvom alebo upútaním pozornosti na festivale sa súťažiacim zmenil život doslova z večera do rána. V cykle účinkuje takmer 200 osobností zo sveta česko-slovenskej aj zahraničnej hudobnej scény a je v ňom použité veľké množstvo unikátneho archívneho materiálu, v ktorom sú zachytené spevácke vystúpenia domácich a svetových hviezd, zákulisie organizácie festivalu, no zaujímavý je aj presah do súčasnosti a pohľad organizátorov, interpretov a autorov s odstupom mnohých rokov. Cyklus však nie je iba sumárom udalostí, ktoré sa viažu výlučne k festivalu. Tvorcovia si dali za cieľ ukázať, ako na charakter festivalu a jeho jednotlivých ročníkov vplývala celková spoločenská a politická situácia, ako jeho tvár formovali udalosti i konkrétni jednotlivci, medzi ktorých patril aj slovenský fotograf svetového mena Dežo Hoffman. Popri výpovediach známych osobností – organizátorov, spevákov, skladateľov a textárov, pracovali tvorcovia aj s veľkým množstvom filmového archívneho materiálu, fotografiami, bulletinmi, zápisnicami. Práce na tvorbe samotného cyklu trvali viac ako tri roky, avšak kompletizácia informácií trvala takmer 10 rokov. Použité archívne materiály pochádzajú z archívov Slovenskej a Českej televízie, Slovenského filmového ústavu, Národného archívu SR a sú doplnené o rozhovory s pamätníkmi festivalu či zvukové záznamy z archívu Slovenského rozhlasu.

Olga Hepnarova was a young, lonely lesbian outsider from a coldhearted family who couldn't play the part society desired of her. Her paranoid self-examination and inability to connect with other people eventually drove her over the edge of humanity when she was only twenty-two years old.

Guided by her letters we delve into Olga's psyche and witness the worsening of her loneliness and alienation as we reconstruct the events that led up to her disastrous actions.
