True story of the legendary trafficker Josef Hasil, referred to by the State Security as the King of Šumava. The mysterious hero of the deep Šumava forests helped dozens of people from communist Czechoslovakia to the West, including mothers with children, whom he was able to transport through the swamps to Germany. Although he was once discovered and imprisoned, he soon escaped from the camp to return as an agent of the American intelligence service CIC, today's CIA. How did Hasil perceive his mission as a smuggler? Why did he have to leave the girl he loved? And how does one of those whose lives he saved see him? The film is framed by the exclusive testimony of Josef Hasil himself, which was recorded by filmmakers in the USA shortly before his death in 2019. The action and romantic story of the smuggling legend comes to life through rotoscope animation (known, for example, from the film Alois Nebel), which also makes other heroes of the film stand out. which is the inscrutable and mystical landscape of Šumava. The gripping film opens in cinemas on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Hasil's birth. 🌲
