When a marriage counselor is abandoned by her husband for a younger woman, she sets out for new companionship. (imdb)

What unfolds against the backdrop of the story of Klára Knabelová and her relationships with three Austro-Hungarian Army officers is a parable of the collapse of the old world of traditional values and the start of the proliferation of new (dis)orders. World War I becomes a trigger for this process of disintegration and an incubator for mysterious forces. The only person who can emerge from this melting-pot with a clean slate is a strong and charismatic woman who becomes a symbol of composure. (Czech film center)
