Antipoetic film Zajatci o Vánovích, is discribed by its director Iulie Rugin as „a little story about people and their little gestures and big stories“. Four travellers are forced to spend Christmas Eve in a little train station. Winter is freezing, next train leaves tomorrow and above all – characters hate each other. Sartre was perhaps right, when he said: „Hell are the others.“
