A mysterious story of women with magical power based on true events.
Kateřina Tučková, Kateřina Dušková, Jiří Janků. In the magical mountain landscape of Žítková, women have always lived who were able to cure all kinds of human ailments. They knew the origin of pain, mastered the power of herbs, set broken bones and healed open wounds, accompanied women during childbirth, but were also able to quiet a storm, for example. Neighbors called them goddesses and brought people to them from far and wide. Dora is the last of the ancient line. She wanted to forget her origins and deny them to escape her mother's fate; she lives in the city and does not believe in superstitions. But she cannot drive away the dark shadow over her life. So she sets out to Žítková to search for the secret of her family. A theatrical adaptation of the award-winning novel about women endowed with supernatural abilities, based on true events. A compelling story about female strength, searching for one's roots and one's own identity. Kateřina Tučková extraordinarily honestly captures the mysterious layers of our history that were deliberately erased from people's memories by the totalitarian regime. The mountaineers from Moravské Kopanice in the Bílé Karpaty, in their harsh life, quite normally used magic, for which our rational society knows no explanation. Special healing and magical abilities were passed on exclusively by women, and the gifts and traditions of mysterious rituals were inherited from mother to daughter.
