Set in Nazi-occupied Czech lands of the 1940's, "Zelary" (Sony Classics) tells the story of Eliska, a nurse and member of the resistance who donates her own blood to save the life of Joza, a rural man with serious injuries who is brought to her on the verge of death.
When the resistance movement is uprooted and Eliska is forced to hide. ?She seeks protection from Joza, the man whose life she saved and who appears to be her only hope. ?She is forced to change her name and her urban lifestyle to become the wife of a mountain man in the tiny village called "Zelary."
An excerpt from the official Sony Classics synopsis:
Zelary tells the story of a clash between two different worlds and two
different people. It is the story of an extraordinary relationship, of
fear, misgivings, suspicion and especially of the love that forms out
of antagonism between Eliska/Hana and Joza; a love born of the common will to survive. Zelary is also the story of a beautiful corner of the Earth where everything lives in accordance with nature and her often cruel and timeless laws that humans must adapt to and honor. Eliska, in spite of setbacks, but with great fervor, tries to learn this. Last but not least, Zelary is also a dramatic story filled with unexpected twists of fate that takes place in a God-forsaken part of Europe surrounded by the storm of war.
"Zelary" is directed by Ondrej Trojan ("Pejme p?sen dohola") and stars Ana Geislerov ("England!") and Gyrgy Cserhalmi ("Ember, aki nappal aludt, Az"). ?The film is due out in New York and LA on September 17 of this year.
