The film Hranice lásky explores the possibilities of whether and how an open relationship or polyamory can work in a relationship between two people, i.e. when a person lives in several love relationships.

Thus, Vagnerová admitted that a visit to a swingers party was also in the cards as part of the preparations.

“I have to say that we had planned it, but covid came and everything stopped. But I really planned it for study reasons. I thought that it is possible to come there, one is dressed and just looks,” Vagnerová told Novinkám.

“As a result, I think it wasn’t necessary, so I wasn’t really anywhere at a swingers party, not even within the studio. But we’ve had a lot of fun with people who are in open relationships, polyamorous, or swingers. I was surprised at how common it is,” she added, adding that she thought she led a rather conservative life compared to some of her acquaintances.

But she admitted that contact with people who are in an open or polyamorous relationship helped her with the initial condemnations she had of similar forms of relationship.

“When we wrote it at the beginning, a version was created that was very critical, precisely because we needed to define ourselves in relation to it. So we had fun with people and I really got to the stage where I thought it could work, that people are happy in this coexistence. But at the same time, I confirmed to myself that it’s not for me, I wouldn’t be able to do it,” she added.

Shame was minimal
Vagnerová also mentioned to Novinka that despite how much the film works with intimate and love scenes, she experienced a minimal sense of shame on the set.

“We trained and rehearsed by talking about the characters and developing them, so we kind of connected to each other. We got used to each other, even the crew knew each other,” she described, adding that it was the closeness they had to each other that was important when working with their own shame.

“I don’t think that the actors’ stories, that they always came to the set on the first day, shook hands and then had to play the most intimate scenes, can’t really work at all. We are still people, so there is a degree of shame, some surprise,” added the actress.

But rather than shame, it was more difficult for her to show the film, where intimate scenes are not spared, to her partner, who is four years younger than Frenchman Nicolas Escavi.

“He saw the poster and of course I was a little nervous to show it to him. Even though he’s great, he understands that it’s a role and he really didn’t make any scenes or pressure me, so if I imagine it’s the other way around, it would be hard for me to watch,” she mentioned before the premiere of the film on Monday in Karlovy Vary at Dom ČT, where the film was introduced by its creators.

The film Hranice lásky by Polish director Tomasz Wińský, who works and shoots in the Czech Republic, is competing in the main section of this year’s Karlovy Vary festival. The film should be released in the fall.
