Génius (1969)
In an old abandoned church, a group of retired people meet, but because of the overload of the younger forces, the re-activated devils are in the process against their colleague, who cried over the fate of man. The dilapidated manor house in Dolní Krupa, remembering the times of Beethoven and his Moonlight Sonatas, now serves as a madhouse and an alcoholic sanatorium; they bring a woman who went crazy when she found out that the defendant had caused her husband to be unfaithful to another, while she, loving Beethoven's sonata, could not be seduced. The bitter irony is the presence of two geniuses: one wanted to make a man noble and human with music - and he lost, the other wanted the opposite - and he also lost. The evil became so great that he would cry over himself and see no other way out for himself than going to the opposite camp.
