IGLA ISPOD PRAGA

Petar has often changed parishes. He is not a simple character and has become bitter and impatient since separating from his wife. His quick-witted, often sarcastic remarks about everyday life in the village and the contempt for the superstition still practiced in the region are not well received by everyone. Nor is his refusal to sign the painstakingly negotiated land deal with an English investor who wants to turn the nearby forest into a golf course with a hotel complex. Insults and threatening letters make the rounds. When an old woman dies who had been denigrated as a witch by the village community, the conflict then escalates at the funeral. Meanwhile, Petar's senile mother follows her very own path, and his son is also slowly bucking his father’s wishes. WMH
