Showtimes & Past Screenings

Dying artist Vladimír Holas wants his last days to be spent in his summer home in the countryside. Joining him in this idyllic setting are two women: youthful Karla, a vulgar but lovable Bohemian and a painter like Vladimír, and Jaruna, a nurse and Vladimír’s former lover. Together and separately, all three fight with death, with love, and with each other.

Genres: Drama, Romance

The Northwest Film Center recognizes and honors the Indigenous peoples of this region on whose ancestral lands the museum now stands. These include the Willamette Tumwater, Clackamas, Kathlemet, Molalla, Multnomah and Watlala Chinook Peoples and the Tualatin Kalapuya who today are part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and many other Native communities who made their homes along the Columbia River. We also want to recognize that Portland today is a community of many diverse Native peoples who continue to live and work here. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities—past, present, future—and are grateful for their ongoing and vibrant presence.
