Jiří Horáček

We sorely miss people who follow their dreams, says Robert Kozler, director of the Mezi ploty festival.

That is why, at the festival, director and producer Václav Marhoul interviewed prominent figures who have not lost their ideals on their journey through life.

Our leading psychiatrist and neuroscientist, Professor Jiří Horáček, accepted the invitation. The conversation turned to mental health, but also to creative madness, ideals and illusions, and the possibilities and limits of treatment with psychedelic substances. In addition, festivalgoers learned a lot about oxytocin, Epicurean and Stoic philosophy, and even about how harsh materialism can lead to eternity.
