From a 21-year-old student leader during the 1989 Velvet revolution to a man in his mid-forties who has lived on a roller coaster and experienced both victories and losses. The life of Jakub Špalek, the founder and director of Prague-based Jester theatre, has always been driven and engulfed by obsession with theatre. His house near Prague is gradually being filled with theatre decorations and costumes, Jakub's wife and two daughters have left. A new beginning and one of the hardest decisions imaginable are in store for him. Life with the Jester is a story of a quest for balance between freedom, responsibility and artistic principles. A story that spans 23 years in the life of an intriguing personality and a leading figure of Czech theatre. (Verleiher-Text)

I'm actually still discovering Helena Třeštíková for myself because the only documentary I've seen from her so far is Katka, but it's a documentary that left an impression on me. Life with Jester again nicely shows how people can change, how their opinions and their attitudes to life change. And perhaps it also reveals who they are.
