A modern film version of Czech classic Karel Jaromír Erben’s 19th century poem.
With grief still fresh and lacking money Eliška relies heavily on her new neighbours while building a new home and keeping her father’s death from her daughter. The stress of lies, a blisteringly hot summer and ‘the curse of the Noonday Witch who steals children midday’ all add to the atmosphere of unease in this sinister psychodrama which explores the real threats to the family.Jiří Sádek, CZ 2016, 89 min Cast: Anna Geislerová, Karolína Lipowská, Daniela Kolářová, Jiří Štrébl
English subtitles
Bookended by live music by Tom Oldfield (cello) exploring the musical themes of the film composed by Ben Corrigan.
