Pani Berta Garlanová

"TV adaptation of an Austrian novelist and playwright Arthur Schnitzler's novel. The story follows a young woman, financially and morally dependent on her relatives. Berthe Garlan's fate is a portrait of a woman at the turn of the century, struggling for her own dignity amidst moral and financial dependence. This source material allowed M. Vášáryová to depict the ambiguous character of a young widow in a small town, trying to escape both spiritual and financial dependence on her relatives."
