A thunderstorm, a signalman's house, a night with consequences: Gustav Machatý's ›Erotikon‹ tells of young Andrea, who falls for a passing seducer, and years later meets him again. With bold close-ups and a visual language of desire that was astonishingly free for its time, the film with Ita Rina ranks among the masterpieces of late Czech silent cinema.
