Massive Fire Interrupts Filming of Czech Movie Lost Aphrodite

Ztracená Afrodita Reaches Cinemas in July 2027

Director Jan Haluza is bringing his new feature film Ztracená Afrodita to Czech cinemas on July 8, 2027.

The film’s cast features Rosalie Malinská, Tereza Ramba, Jakub Jablonský, Vica Kerekes, and Cyril Dobrý. Additional roles are filled by Nelly Řehořová, Zlata Adamovská, and Vladimír Javorský.

Island Evacuation During Production

Production on the island faced unexpected disruptions when a wildfire broke out just a few hundred meters from the film sets. The crew had to manage sudden safety threats and location changes.

Zažili jsme situaci, kterou si při přípravě filmu nikdo neumí představit, producer Dana Voláková stated. She added, V jednu chvíli jsme řešili evakuaci, bezpečí herců a štábu a zároveň to, jak vůbec budeme pokračovat dál v natáčení.

Despite damage to certain selected locations and limited access to others, the production reorganized its schedule rapidly. Voláková praised the Czech and Croatian crews for maintaining calm and finishing all necessary shots without a single injury.

Ancient Myth and Personal Stakes

The story blends contemporary events with historical mystery. Young historian and curator Zuzana Heranová, played by Rosalie Malinská, discovers an ancient apple that serves as the first clue to a centuries-old lost statue of the goddess Aphrodite.

Ancient legend ties the statue to ambrosia, the mythical food of the gods said to grant eternal youth, beauty, healing from any illness, and potential immortality. For Zuzana, however, the search carries an urgent personal weight because her mother is seriously ill, turning the investigation into a race against time.
