CASFFA: The Aristocrats

Aristokratka ve varu

At their Renaissance chateau in the Czech countryside, Count Frank Kostka (Hynek Cermák), wife Vivien (Tatiana Dyková) and daughter Marie (Yvona Stolarová) live in the company of housekeepers, groundskeepers and holiday tourists.  People are no longer as interested in the curse on the chateau as they once were, but Marie doesn't mind. It gives her plenty of time with Max, the nobleman from the neighbouring Castle Hvezda. Frank, however, is at his wit's end as he does not have enough money to pay for salaries or necessary repairs. At this moment, Deniska (Simona Lewandowská), the daughter of the family lawyer, moves in and starts stirring up trouble.

Laugh-out-loud funny, and shot on location in the South Moravia region, The Aristocrats is a frenzy of dysfunctional fun and silver-spoon charm.

CaSFFA presents The Aristocrats as Melbourne’s Closing Night film of CaSFFA 2024.
