Lost Holiday - Ztracená dovolená

Synopsis

The chance discovery of a found object makes for a lost holiday and vaults two Czech filmmakers into starring roles in their own unintended tale of international intrigue. Director Lucie Králová and friends are tourists traveling in Sweden when they find a discarded suitcase in a dumpster. When opened, the suitcase reveals 22 rolls of undeveloped film, and a real-life detective story begins. The film is developed into hundreds of images starring six Asian men, seemingly on a business trip. Or is it? The filmmakers resolve to meet the men in the images, and the ensuing search is a bizarre journey that tests the limits of global connectivity.
