Ecstasy
Directed by Gustav Machatý
Produced by Elektafilm
A melancholic 1930s romance exploring passion versus duty, where a young woman's escape into love collides with the tragic consequences of her abandonment.
Eva has just gotten married to an older gentleman, but discovers that he is obsessed with order in his life and doesn't have much room for passion. She becomes despondent and leaves him, returning to her father's house. One day while bathing in the lake, she meets a young man and they fall in love. The husband has become grief stricken at the loss of his young bride, and fate brings him together with the young lover that has taken Eva from him.
