synopsis

For years, everyone thought Michal was just a junkie. It was only in his therapeutic community that he was found to have a dual diagnosis: a comorbidity of untreated, psychiatric illness bottled up and exacerbated by his chronic drug addiction. A long journey of detoxing, treatment, and long-stay rehab sets him free.

biography

Petr Hátle (* 1983) studied documentary filmmaking at FAMU in Prague. During his studies, he completed an internship at Istanbul Bilgi University. He has shot a number of short films that have been screened at various festivals to much acclaim, including his films Advent and Leaving Istanbul. He graduated from FAMU with his feature-length debut, The Great Night, a visually impressive, cinematic investigation into the nightlife of Prague's periphery.
