Better Go Mad in the Wild (Raději zešílet v divočině)

Miro Remo

Better Go Mad in the Wild

Franta and Ondra are inseparable twins, living away from civilization in the deep bosom of nature. Their daily routine, permeated with peace and harmony with the surrounding world, begins to crack under the pressure of internal contradictions. Franta longs for freedom, change and adventure, while Ondra clings to the safety of immutability. However, their dual existence breaks like a mirror, the same appearance, different desires. In the silent embrace of nature, a fragile drama of separation, reconciliation and perhaps even reunion takes place. A magical story about what remains when what held us together begins to disappear.
