El truculento cuento de la Condesa Elisabeth Bathory ha sido narrado por historiadores, escritores, poetas, músicos, pintores y directores de cine. La tradición cuenta que la Condesa Bathory fue la mayor asesina de la historia de la humanidad. La condesa torturaba a sus víctimas, solo mujeres, antes de matarlas. Se bañaba en su sangre y les arrancaba la carne con los dientes cuando aún vivían. ¿Pero es eso verdad? En cuatro siglos, no se ha descubierto ningún documento que aclare lo que pasó realmente. Esta película se opone diametralmente a la conocida leyenda.

The documentary tribute to the solitary director Elo Havetta (1938-1975), the author of only two feature films (Celebration in the Botanical Garden and Wild Lilies), which belong to the peaks of Slovak cinema. In their time, they brought playfulness and spontaneity, which the authors of the documentary follow up with a happening in which they search for his legacy on the way to the director's grave.

Una montaña en el fin del mundo es el escenario de un pueblo cuyos habitantes siguen adorando los dioses de siglos atrás y viven de la cosecha.

Writer
En tono de comedia ácida, el realizador retrata la confusión que sobrevino a la caída del bloque soviético y a la escisión de la antigua República Socialista de Checoslovaquia en dos Estados independientes (los checos por un lado y los eslovacos por el otro), en donde algunos personajes que medraban en la mediocridad se enriquecen súbitamente aprovechando el caos reinante. Con su filme, Jakubisko predijo el crecimiento del nacionalismo irracional en Europa Oriental, así como el desmantelamiento de la Federación Checoslovaca.
