A wartime romance with only the briefest glimpse of the enemy is rare (...), but adeptly pulling off an improbable love story like this is rarer still.

What is Zelary about? Toggle content

In the midst of World War II, a young nurse named Eliška is forced to flee her home in the city and take refuge in a remote mountain village. She marries a man named Joza to keep her true identity hidden and begins a new life in Želary. At first, she struggles to adapt to country life and the rough, uneducated ways of the villagers. However, with time, she learns to appreciate the beauty of the land and the people, and finds unexpected love with her husband Joza. As the war rages on, Eliška witnesses tragedy and violence, but also the power of love, family, and community. When the war finally ends, Eliška has to make a choice: will she return to her old life, or stay with the man and the village that have become her home?
