DramaRomance

A nurse and her surgeon-lover are part of a resistance movement in 1940s Czechoslovakia. When they are discovered, her lover flees and she must find a place to hide. A patient whose life she saved, a man from a remote mountain village where time stopped 150 years ago, agrees to hide her as his wife.

VIBE

A deeply romantic and melancholic drama about finding unexpected belonging in a forgotten world. It feels like a wistful, pastoral dream, exploring love and sacrifice against a backdrop of stark, natural beauty and quiet tradition.
