, written by Marek Epstein, Holland will try her hand at a period biopic about a local folk healer, Jan Mikolášek, who lived between 1887 and 1973, and who allegedly helped five million people without even having a formal education in medicine. “Mikolášek was unbelievably smart and intuitive, but also a rational individual who managed to diagnose people and help them with herbs,” Holland said about the protagonist.

, will star in the leading role. “It’s a story of an extraordinary man; however, he is a very ambiguous character. He knows he is saving lives, and he knows he can help people, yet he realises he is in need of help himself,” Trojan explained. The younger version of Mikolášek will be portrayed by Trojan’s son Josef. “What is most powerful about Charlatan for me is not what it says, but how it says it. I was charmed by its original narrative style and cinematic moderation. Everything is distinctive yet emotive, fragile in expression yet strong in substance,” adds Holland.
