This film traces the life of Jan Kapr, a prominent Czech composer of the 20th century. A documentary opera with an ambitious libretto and playful and refined editing work, Kapr Code is an unexpected celebration of creativity that shakes up our ideas of biography and pays tribute to the importance of resisting homologation and censorship through art and creation.

Documentary filmmaker Jan Sikl came across several hours of footage showing the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in private film archives. 53 years later, historical memory awakens from a long slumber with this reconstruction of the occupation, a cinematic adventure of a truly archeological nature.

Monotone workers’ job in the Siemens factory, discrete life—style and fascination by the absolute evil of extermination camps blend in the character of twenty years old Michal. He’s obsessed with writing and has very curious hobbies: in his free time, he investigates the way the German concentration camps were organized, he travels, searches through archives, questions the witnesses and tries his best to understand both sides of the killing machinery, killers and their victims. The documentary captures his schizophrenic fumbling, his persistent pedantry while gathering material and his doubts when he thinks about the questions of guilt and punishment.

In 2001, the traveler Láďa found a discarded suitcase with a plastic bag containing twenty-two undeveloped films in a container. It turned out that six Asians on their way to Scandinavia were immortalized on them. The film crew wondered if these six men could be found.
