It Will Stay Between Us is the story of Dana, a young woman on the eve of her wedding, who meets the strange Tomáš under dramatic circumstances. Through him she gradually realizes that her life and her relationships are dull and unsatisfying. She discovers a new world full of freedom, chance and mystery — but also of chaos and conflicting emotions. She discovers passion.

Vášnivý bozk

Trailer — for full details on the film, see the Filmography →

A Passionate Kiss is the story of a woman confronted with the bizarre world of a magical city somewhere in Europe. It begins with a dream — a nightmare — and continues through a series of encounters. This is not a feminist story, yet femininity plays a decisive role in it: the moral and ethical shifts in the mind of a modern woman who decides to walk away from an empty (if financially secure) relationship.
