debut feature by Fiona Ziegler
SYNOPSIS
Evžen could have gone down the safe path, studied dentistry in Switzerland and having taken over his father’s practice. Instead, he decides to explore his native country, from where his father emigrated in 1968, and goes to Prague to open a music club. But man proposes, God disposes – Evžen finds himself suddenly back on the road to Switzerland, while in his head, he recapitulates the mistakes he made. Lost in Paradise is a tragicomic mosaic about remorse, the differing values of two cultures, and an absurd road movie that takes us from the heart of Bohemia into “the Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie” and towards the reconciliation of a father-son story.
