A story about a man who checks the suitability and abundance of water wells. A suggestive, at times ironic, but always engaging portrait of the modern Robinson. The film shows the upturned face of the modern myth of returning to nature.
Elo Havetta
A director, photographer, screenwriter, Elo Havetta was born in 1938 in Velké Vozokany, present-day Slovakia. After training in photography and exploring various artistic disciplines, he studied with Karel Kachyňa at FAMU in Prague in the 1960s. Despite his great talent, recognition only came in 1969 with the film Slavnost v botanické zahradě. After Prague Spring and its aftermath, he only managed to make the famous Ľalie poľné in 1972, which was successfully presented at the Venice Film Festival. Many other projects and screenplays were never realised. Although he was among the most original and important figures in Slovak cinema of the period, the rediscovery of his work only came about after the fall of communism. He died in 1975 in Bratislava.
