Svedek umírajícího casu (1991)

In 1983, director Miloslav Luther filmed the five-part TV series Doctor of a Dying Time based on a script by Vladimír Körner. In 1990, the authors decided to edit this successful series about the fate of the famous doctor and philosopher of Slovak origin Ján Jesenský - Jessenia - into a feature film Witness to the Dying Time. This way, we once again get a glimpse into the Rudolfinian era. The story begins in 1596, when we first meet the doctor Jessenius in the Hungarian wilderness. We follow exciting life stories up to the tragic climax of the battle on Bílá hora and the execution of twenty-seven Czech gentlemen.
