Baumstämme im Schnee

"For we are like tree trunks in the snow. In appearance they lie smoothly and a little push should be enough to set them rolling. No, it can't be done, for they are firmly wedded to the ground. But see, even that is only appearance." A quote from a short story by Franz Kafka opens a film in which the theme of life's uncertainties is a drama of a man and his lost son. (Zlín Film Festival)
