synopsis

The documentary film presents in an unconventional way the personality of Zdeněk Neubauer, a peculiar philosopher, scientist, academic, mystic and mycologist, dissident and friend of Václav Havel, who became an expert on everything he turned his attention to - and yet he preferred to walk barefoot. Zdeněk Neubauer simply enjoyed thinking - and he knew how to pass on his enthusiasm.
