This lamentably little-known but formally remarkable and outstandingly acted historical drama was shot in 1960s, inspired by a short story by Alois Jirásek. A threesome of deserters with radically different world-views meet during the time of Austro-Prussian War. After a short spell of peace, the fate has it that their stands crystallize in the inevitable necessity to confront the tiresome war. (Summer Film School)
