Few true stories tread the thin line between good and evil as precariously as that of Jan MikoIášek, a 20th century Czech herbal healer whose great success masked the grimmest of secrets. Mikolášek won fame and fortune treating ceIebrities of the interwar, Nazi, and Communist eras with his uncanny knack for "urinary diagnosis". But his passion for heaIing weIled up from the same source as a lust for crueIty, sadism, and an incapacity for love that only one person couId ever quelI – his assistant, František. As a show trial threatens to pry open these secrets and undo him, Jan’s dichotomies are put to a final test, with the fate of his Iife’s only love in the balance. A personaI taIe as repIete with twists as the century itself, and a refIection on the price one pays for single-mindedIy following one’s calIing. |
