Jan Morávek: Swimmers on the Sázava

A picture of a swimming village, an irretrievably disappeared world and the life of swimmers on the Sázava. In the production, which was made in 1990 by director Jan Berger from a script by František Pavlíček, played by Josef Velda, Lukas Hlavica, Alois Švehlík, Daniela Kolářová and others. With his 1932 novel Swimmers on the Sázava River, the then forty-four-year-old author achieved his first great success - with readers and critics alike. Together with Wilderness and The Rock Breed, Swimmers on the Sázava is one of the author's most important and most popular books. It follows the fate of the Loučil and Dolejš families, who lead a hard life on the water and around their cottages.
