Quiet is the Night

Pomerania in the 1920s. Residents of a small town are shocked by a series of murders; the victims are all young boys. Police chief Teofil Herman takes charge of the investigation but, unable to make any headway, faces the wrath of the local community and press, who demand that the killer be caught immediately. Ripples of panic spread wider as the tension mounts. A psychological, historical whodunit based on the novel “Příběh Kriminálního Rady” by Ladislav Fuks. The Fixafilm team digitally restored, colour-corrected and mastered the film.
