DEMON OF THE MARSHES | IN DEVELOPMENT

| SYNOPSIS
The film captures the journey of Josef Paseka through Šumava Mountains. He is searching for a space where to breathe deeply, a space for calm, for truth. As well as the inhospitable Šumava nature he has to also learn to get along with the people of Šumava – the extractors of peat, and the strange devils too. Josef Paseka is slowly discovering that if he wants to understand this region, he will have to cast aside all he has come with.

Even a hundred years ago Šumava was a place that was romantinc, but also dying, exploited, devastated, fascinating, magical and neglected.
