“The Golden Swan: Shocking lesbian scenes and period costumes revealed”

Not that she wasn’t lovely before. But the directors usually hid the pretty face of the dark-haired native of Wallachia behind not-so-sexy eyeglass frames, hiding the curves of her slim body in shapeless jackets. After all, she herself prefers sneakers to pumps. However, the artist Michaela Horáčková Hořejší (43) flourished in period costumes.

Shocking blows

“It’s every costume designer’s dream come true! Irena is a fascinating character, and moreover, she is played by a woman who is not only beautiful on the outside, but also on the inside. The job is one of the most enjoyable I’ve ever had the honor of doing. It’s pure joy,” she commented to the daily Aha! Worse with the fact that it can handle even greater extravagance. “She is in a high position, has a lot of money and aspires to be the artistic producer of the whole house. We can afford to be shocking with her,” she explained. In addition to very tight costumes and beautiful dresses, they also wear interesting knitted turbans or massive headbands, which even fans of black and white films of the First Republic are not used to at all.

Lesbian scenes

And Kristýna’s plot line is also shocking – almost every episode ends in the arms of her lesbian lover Alena, played by Simona Lewandowski (23). “Alena is actually into girls and has an affair with Irena Kučerová, who is the daughter of the owner of the Golden Swan department store. He struggles a lot with it because it is forbidden. She has to marry Jakub, but she loves Irena,” told Simona some time ago. Her serial love does not take the lesbian scenes seriously. “I don’t deal with eroticism in front of the camera. I’m not exactly shy, so I don’t mind. It is much more difficult for me to shoot an emotional scene somewhere in a court, for example,” revealed the beauty, who is wrapped in luxury in Zlatá labuti. Watch the next episode on Thursday, May 11 from 8:20 p.m. on Nova.

The chase with Toník

Kristýna Ryška is the mother of two-year-old Toník, so she jumped right into the filming from maternity leave. “The truth is that now I’ve been filming exceptionally, rather smaller and limited projects, so the Golden Swan is definitely a series in which I warm up a little after a long time. I was looking forward to it, but I also have a lot of respect for it,” she admitted, saying that she is now very very busy with time. “Honestly, sometimes I even panic because I don’t know how Toník and I will manage and if our family’s logistics won’t collapse,” she smiled. During her pregnancy, she returned to her native Rožnov pod Radhoštěm, and the journey by car to the Prague studios takes her 3.5 hours…

Homosexuality as a crime

As viewers recently found out, Kristýna Ryška alias Irena has a secret relationship with saleswoman Alena. And he has a very serious reason to keep it a secret! In the 1930s, homosexuality was a crime. “The penalty for this is hard prison from one to five years,” states the criminal code in force at the time. In the publication Homosexuality in a social context it is written: “The most cruel persecution of homosexuals occurred in Germany during the Nazi era. Homosexuals have been registered in the so-called pink lists since 1934, in concentration camps they were marked with a pink triangle.”
