Return of the Idiot

Czech

A thirtyish man is released from an asylum, makes his way back to his home town and is instantly immersed in the madness of a love triangle and the lives of his relatives. His isolation has rendered him acutely empathic which shows in timely nosebleeds. He is a perceptive naif, a candide who serves as a mirror to real life.

Nicely done. Astute mix of humor, drama...good dialogue and overall direction. Very eastern European in tone...a compliment.
