A mysterious story of women with magical powers, 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 heal all kinds of human ailments. They knew the source of pain, mastered the power of herbs, set broken bones and healed open wounds, accompanied women during childbirth, but were also able, for example, to quiet a storm. Their neighbors called them goddesses and brought people to them from far and wide. Dora is the last of an ancient lineage. She wanted to forget her origins and deny them in order to escape her mother's fate; she lives in the city and does not believe in superstitions. But she cannot banish the dark shadow over her life. So she sets out to Žítková to search for her family's secret. A theatrical adaptation of the award-winning novel about women endowed with supernatural abilities, based on true events. A gripping story about female strength, searching for one's roots, and one's own identity. Kateřina Tučková captures the mysterious layers of our history, which were deliberately erased from people's memory by the totalitarian regime, with extraordinary honesty. The highlanders of Moravské Kopanice in the White Carpathians quite commonly used magic in their harsh lives, for which our rational society knows no explanation. Special healing and magical abilities were passed down here exclusively by women; the talent and traditions of mysterious rituals were inherited from mother to daughter.
