The Ill-Fated Child (2003)
Directed by Lucie Králová, Miloslav Novák
Documentary
Monotone workers’ job in the Siemens factory, discrete life—style and fascination by the absolute evil of extermination camps blend in the character of twenty years old Michal. He’s obsessed with writing and has very curious hobbies: in his free time, he investigates the way the German concentration camps were organized, he travels, searches through archives, questions the witnesses and tries his best to understand both sides of the killing machinery, killers and their victims. The documentary captures his schizophrenic fumbling, his persistent pedantry while gathering material and his doubts when he thinks about the questions of guilt and punishment.
