The film tells the dramatic story of the life of one of the most remarkable personalities of the Czech history, philosopher and humanist. Comenius has been internationally known for his innovative teaching methods and the scope and complexity of his work is incredible. Comenius spent the last 14 years of his life in The Netherlands and was buried in Naarden in 1670. Many of Comenius´ thoughts and ideas are timeless and universal. The film portrays a probable encounter between Comenius and Rembrandt and their search for contact despite the differences in their personalities. Film was made in the Czech Republic in the region of Zlin to commemorate the 350th anniversary of Jan Amos Comenius' death last year.
