The dance master (Ucitel tance)

An unusual story about love, dancing and survival, set in the late '40s. Jan Mayer, a young dance-master, arrives in a sanatorium for lung diseases. He has been diagnosed with tuberculosis. But instead of resigning himself to the debilitating sickness, Mayer resolves to fight it, using his optimism and his dancing as his weapons. Gradually he wins over other patients who have been accepting their fate passively in the face of strict institutional discipline. But just when it seems that Mayer is winning his battle, the disease hits back. Mayer is shaken but not demoralized. He will challenge death directly with a dance.
