President Pavel

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.

An exceptionally rare guest also accepted the invitation: Czech President Petr Pavel. This time, he hardly mentioned politics. Instead, he and Václav discussed the blurred line between genius and madness and the ability to pursue what we believe in, even if we fail a hundred times. They also touched on physical and mental resilience, sensitivity to people who need help, and even the difficult questions of dying with dignity.
