return of the idiot
návrat idiota
‘One of the most original and inventive pics out of Central Europe in some time...’ – Variety
Drawing inspiration from the main character of F. M. Dostoyevsky‘s ‘The Idiot’, the film relates a serio-comic modern-day love story that center around a young man who, after having been institutionalized most of his life, is released into the world, bringing him into contact with a circle of four young people, romantically inter-linked, none of them truly happy.
