Traces of Stars
A documentary film about how Czech children learn about the Holocaust and how they get acquainted with the subject through various workshops that were made taboo not just in Czech schools, but in society as a whole. The inspirations for them are stories of specific people who survived the Holocaust.
Mitsuko Aoyama, the Countness from Ronsperg
A document on the Japanese Mitsuko Aoyama, who unitentionally became acquainteded with an Austrian diplomat accreditted in Tokyo, Count Jindřich Coudenhove-Kalergi. In early 1892, Count Jindřich, despite the protests of both families, married Mitsuko and they had seven children together. These children were raised in a picuresque corner of Bohemia in Poběžovice. For many years they lived in this location and its immediate vicinity together with Czechs, Germasns and an extensive Jewish community.

It was the second son of the noble couuple - Richard. (Film was part of project EU-Japan - People to People Exchange.)
