Boleslav Polivka
The Way Home
The film follows Vorel's films The Road from the City and The Road to the Forest, creates a closed trilogy from them and completes the fates of all the main characters. In The Way Home, Bolek Polívka and Eva Holubová will return in the lead roles as the Papoš agricultural family, Tomáš Hanák and Barbora Nimcová as the immigrant family from the city, Tomáš Vorel Jr. and Lucie Šteflová as the fisherman Ludva and his wife. Milan Šteindler will also appear in the role of the trained chairman of the hunters or Dominika Elischerová, whom people know from social networks such as Mína. The old and traditional farmer Papoš is beginning to worry about his old age and the fact that his son Ludva does not want to take over the farm. Ludva wants to stay in the local forest. But the forest administration wants to sell the hunting lodge where he lives. His wife irritates the village with her "organic" approach to life and has to come to terms with the fact that some local women have been slandered by the handsome Ludva. Tomáš, who once moved from the city and from the office to the village, is already firmly attached to the village, works as a lumberjack in the woods and likes to sneeze, while his wife is interested in meditation in nature.

In the Czech environment, the 1990s were more likely to favor fantasy themes in literature than elsewhere. It’s no surprise then that Jan Sverak’s science fiction movie was a rather isolated event in post-revolution cinema, and thus the picture had all the more impact on genre-starved audiences of the time. The story of exhausted Olda – who battles a parallel world behind his television screen as it attempts to siphon off his energy – represented the then apex of local special-effects technology, but it is also a stellar parody of popular Hollywood blockbusters. Olda´s unequal fight against the beguiling TV machinery has proven to be one of the most imaginative tales in which people try to escape from a trap that they themselves devised.
