THE RETURN OF THE IDIOT

Loosely based on the literary model “The idiot” by Fjodor Dostojevskij, the film tells about František, who has spent long years in psychiatric clinics. All of a sudden he is discharged. The doctor’s explanation: “There is no use any longer to run away from life.” From one day to the next František, who never felt he was running away from life, has to face life and the “normal” people out there. He returns by train to his hometown where he becomes a witness to the amorous confusions involving his relative Emil, Emil’s girlfriend Anna, Anna’s sister Olga, and Emil’s brother Robert. In the end, František is the only one left to understand this mess. But the others do not take him seriously, after all he’s just an “idiot”. But at midnight when the fireworks go off, the house of lies of the four collapses and Emil, Anna, Olga, and Robert realize that the “idiot” has been a witness and close friend to each of them.
