The Damned (2002)

The film is the story of a search undertaken by the Czech tourist guide Tomás Egermaier, who had become a chance witness to his countryman Patrik Lovický's arrest for holding drugs in the (fictitious) Asian town of Bandung. Tomás starts investigating the young man's past and the events that finally led to this long prison sentence. A story about the cruel fate that can hit anyone who considers drug smuggling from Asia an easy way of getting rich quickly, it was inspired by the true stories of young people who fell into this trap, were arrested and imprisoned. The Damned is also the first film on the subject of drugs that the Kingdom of Thailand officially permitted to be filmed on its territory.
