In the Shadow
In the former Czechoslovakia, 1950s, police captain Hakl investigates a jewelery robbery. The investigation leads him onto thin ice. Can he beat a stronger enemy and save his family and his own life?
Police captain Hakl is investigating an apparently routine break-in at a jewellery store, but he soon discovers he’s up against a complex political conspiracy. Will he find his opponents’ weaknesses or will he succumb to his own? A period spectacle that contemplates a simple notion: every era needs its heroes. The film won nine Czech Lions and five Czech Film Critics Awards.
