Bylo záƙí a my vyrazili s MariĂ­ k nĂĄm do JesenĂ­kĆŻ. Trochu fotit, trochu chillovat, v poměru, kterĂœ nĂĄm bude momentĂĄlně vyhovovat. JenĆŸe vĆĄechno bylo jinak. RĂĄno jsme se probudili a po zahradě tekla ƙeka. Na naĆĄi zahradu ƙeka nepatƙí. Ani potok! Z druhĂ© strany zahrady tekla druhĂĄ ƙeka. A obě končily dole v jakĂ©si Rio Grande, co měla bĂœt potokem a kterou se valily kameny, klĂĄdy a kusy asfaltu... Bylo to docela drsnĂœ a i kdyĆŸ nĂĄs ta voda jaksi ĆĄĆ„astně obtekla a nijak nĂĄm neublĂ­ĆŸila, uvěznila nĂĄs, ocitli jsme se na ostrově, nemohli jsme odjet, protoĆŸe zmizel most i silnice, nefungovaly telefony ani internet, takĆŸe jsme netuĆĄili, co se děje okolo...

A v tu chvĂ­li jsme si ƙekli, ĆŸe mĆŻĆŸeme udělat to, co umĂ­me nejlĂ­p, vyuĆŸĂ­t tĂ© děsivĂ© situace a vytvoƙit něco, k čemu (doufĂĄm) uĆŸ nikdy nebudou podmĂ­nky. A tak jsme v tĂ© novĂ© ƙece na zahradě udělali pĂĄr fotek a taky natočili s MariĂ­ tenhle film. Tedy, Ráďa ho natočila, jĂĄ drĆŸel obrovskĂœ slunečnĂ­k, pod kterĂœm jsme se krčili se světly a kamerou a doufali, ĆŸe nĂĄs to nesplĂĄchne.

NějakĂœm zĂĄzrakem nĂĄm potom večer znovu pustili elektƙinu a tak jsme mohli ve studiu natočit a nafotit i zĂĄběry s motĂœlem. A pak nĂĄm tu elektƙinu zase vypnuli.

AĆŸ dalĆĄĂ­ dny k nĂĄm pak doĆĄly zprĂĄvy, co se to vlastně jen kousek od nĂĄs vĆĄechno stalo a jakĂĄ to byla katastrofa. A trvalo několik dalĆĄĂ­ch dnĆŻ, neĆŸ se nĂĄm podaƙilo odjet.

Ty zĂĄběry jsme schovali, nepƙiĆĄlo nĂĄm v tĂ© době vhodnĂ© a uctivĂ©, pouĆĄtět je do světa.

Dali jsme tomu vĂ­c neĆŸ pĆŻl roku, neĆŸ jsme se do nich pustili a neĆŸ z nich Ráďa udělala tenhle krĂĄtkĂœ film. Tak tady ho mĂĄte. A fotky dĂĄme tƙeba zĂ­tra.

It was September when Marie and I set off for our place in the Jeseníky Mountains. A bit of photography, a bit of chilling—whatever balance suited us in the moment. But everything turned out differently.

We woke up in the morning to find a river flowing through our garden. A river had no place in our garden. Not even a stream! From the other side, another river was flowing in. And both of them ended below in something like a Rio Grande that was supposed to be a small creek, now carrying rocks, logs, and chunks of asphalt.

It was pretty intense. And while the water miraculously bypassed us without causing any harm, it trapped us. We were stranded on an island—unable to leave because the bridge and road had vanished. Phones and the internet were down, so we had no idea what was happening around us.

At that moment, we decided to do what we do best: make the most of this terrifying situation and create something that (hopefully) we would never have the conditions to make again. So, we took a few photos in the new river in our garden and filmed this short movie with Marie. Well, actually, Ráďa shot it while I held a huge umbrella, crouching under it with the lights and camera, hoping we wouldn’t get swept away.

By some miracle, the power came back on that evening, allowing us to shoot and photograph the butterfly scenes in the studio. And then, the electricity went out again.

It wasn’t until days later that we learned about the devastation that had happened just a short distance away. And it took several more days before we could finally leave.

We kept the footage to ourselves—it didn’t feel right or respectful to release it at the time. We let it sit for over half a year before we finally returned to it, and Ráďa turned it into this short film.

So here it is. And maybe we’ll share the photos tomorrow.
