Life and Death in Tanvald

A documentary detective story in which the authors follow in the footsteps of Czech xenophobia. In Tanvald there is a parking space and a supermarket on the square. Winter is colder than in the rest of the republic. The year 2012 began here with misfortune. An hour and a half after midnight, a Tanvald senior shot dead a 22-year-old junior. Was it a necessary defense? Were it not for the young man being a Roma and the shooter Gajo, the passions would not have been aroused. In addition, everything took place in the city of closed textiles, extreme unemployment and low tolerance. Filming began a few days after the unfortunate shooting. It turned out that the parents of the deceased Ladislav live in sight of the man who shot. How to make a film about misfortune so that it is not hopeless?
