The unique film show Cinema on the Border, which combines the best of Czech, Polish and Slovak cinematography in several theaters in Český Těšín and Polish Těšín, will today present real gems of recent times.
“At noon, the film Silent Secret is shown in the Piast cinema,” recommends the film, a member of the organizing team, Martin Novosad. The film directed by Tomáš Mašín tells the story of veterinarian Martin and his wife, who lead a seemingly happy life. One day, Martin suffers a serious injury that arouses suspicion. The police will start an investigation. The detective story turns into a psychological drama about relationships, traumas and mutual lies.
Fifteen minutes after 5:00 p.m., Agnieszka Holland’s award-winning film Hranice will be shown in the Centra cinema. “During a routine border check, customs officials discover a group of illegal immigrants in a van.
