Pavol Karas

Un jeune déserteur polonais et organiste doué trouve refuge contre les fascistes dans un monastère franciscain slovaque. Il entre en conflit avec l'organiste et chef de chœur local, un homme limité dans sa vision du monde et ses valeurs spirituelles.

A film adaptation of the novelette of the same title written by Dominik Tatarka depicts the life of a young generation of artists that was formed in Slovakia during the war. Anabella, a young and beautiful girl meets a group of artists. She awakens their erotic desires but also pure feelings of love; she becomes the object of their secret fantasies as well as their artistic inspiration. And it seems that the boundaries between reality and fantasy suddenly cease to exist.
