In 1913, Czech skiing champion Bohumil Hanč perseveres alone in a fierce snowstorm during a race, collapses from exhaustion and exposure, and is found by his friend Emerich Rath, who risks his own life in a desperate rescue attempt. Tragically, Hanč succumbs to the elements, and shortly after his friend Václav Vrbata, who lent Hanč his coat, also perishes in the blizzard.

Bára Poláková's Live Music Film will create a diverse mosaic of feelings, ideas, and experiences of the performer that inspired her songs. It will reflect on the time of isolation, when we lose track of the days of the week and our place in the world. Time that we have to ourselves. And above all, time for reunion and sharing. In a single space, we will give each song its own story – whether through different scenography, choreography, or narration. Let yourself be surprised by famous guests, the play with space, and new contexts for lesser-known and more familiar songs.
