Not everything fit into the documentary Karel. Olga Špátová (36) got so close that she could get to know the Golden Nightingale in its entirety. And in the purest form, real, without embellishments. Karla had the opportunity to watch almost until her last breath. “I even had the opportunity to talk to Karl about whether he would like the last farewell in the film. And I know that he wanted it… That’s how we were able to talk to Ivanka and Karel, “the director of the documentary recalls the more difficult moments of filming.

But they said they didn’t talk so much about death. “I had the opportunity to watch it … My original idea was different, it was supposed to be a charging and reinforcing film, but I had no idea that my protagonist would leave,” he admits in a rather dramatic course in an interview for Reflex. “The fact that I could watch Karel and his family at the end, that he allowed me to be there, that I could film a situation where I felt as if the family was humbly waiting for Karel to go upstairs and be with him, was strong. The girls and Ivanka took care of him…, “Špátová recalls emotional moments. “Ivana took care of him for a very long time and that is something I would like people to understand and see in the film,” he says with respect for his wife, for whom Karel was simply a true love. Symbolically, for Špátová, what happened between the two of them.

Golden Charles
In an interview with Reflex, Špátová also states that she feels that she has known the real one Karla Gotta and that it was precisely because he was eighty years old. “He went for himself as much as possible,” believes the author of the documentary, which will have its official premiere on October 15. “He was the truest Charles for me to experience. Knowing that life would end, he didn’t have to play anything. He had a beautiful life, filled with work and love, he did not regret anything, he was balanced, “Špátová recalls, adding that it was beautiful to watch. He was really dying with the knowledge of a wonderful life. He was just sorry he couldn’t accompany his little girls a little longer on their lives. “My biggest wish for all four daughters is for them to meet as beautiful and inspiring people as I have met in their life’s journey … I would like to see and influence it,” he said, according to the author of the document.

Špátová mentioned another message by Gott: “Karel believed a lot in destiny and happiness. He was convinced that if someone offered you something, you should catch it. You don’t have to let it go. He also believed that we should live and not let our lives go by, ”he concludes his memories of an intense year with the Master.
