Sudetenland. Present. The grandson of a murdered factory owner is hired as a mystical guide to a wealthy old man’s fate. The curtly sketched wandering journey through a desolate landscape to the past reveals the roots of human brutality. Motives of personal morality, historical guilt for collaborating with the Nazis and redemption through revenge are unleashed in a phantasmagoric hallucinatory feria, a cruel dance of dehumanized figures driven to fulfillment by revenge, greed, and a faint vision of redemption. The historical allegory of Blood Kin, based on a real event, balances between documentary verisimilitude and expressive, surreal dramatization. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)

The highly innovative approach to the topic of severe trauma caused by the post-war events in the village of Vitín is worthy of an award. I soon got used to the surrealistic style of storytelling pretty quickly, but I felt that the overabundance of psychedelic scenes unnecessarily distracted from the story. However, I really liked the artistry of some of the visual images. The acting performances were also of a very good level, especially Karel Dobrý as Otfried Hille was once again at his best. (65%)

Una extraña y caóticamente narrada mezcla de alucinaciones, flashbacks retro, manifestaciones teatrales, imágenes industriales y animaciones, que experimenta con el tema del trauma de la crueldad de posguerra en la región fronteriza checo-alemana. Un poco de Stalker y un poco de Habermann's Mill, pero realizado al nivel de un vídeo musical punk psicodélico, completamente ahogado en un simbolismo confuso e incomprensible. Es muy poco convencional, lo que en teoría puede ser una ventaja para algunos, pero no veo otros valores distintivos en ella.
