Binderiana, which is set in both Czechoslovakia and Poland in the 1970’s, was described as a “creepy, dark” absurd film with a fairytale story and elements of comedy and romantic adventure. The production team called it “a new genre in Czech cinema.” The story line begins with a Polish secret agent who falls in love with a French scientist and through a series of adventures ends up with the hero and heroine in disguise at a circus in Marienbad.

The producers have already received a grant of 280,000 EUR from the Czech Film Fund and have Polish distribution through Gutek Film. They are looking for a French coproducer.

The young production team from the company Vernes, founded in 2010, include producers Jana Bebrova and Zdenek Holy and scriptwriter Dzian Baban who is co-authoring with Vojtech Masek. The Polish coproducer is Jacek Naglowski of Centrala.

The film is budgeted at 1.5 m EUR. The expecte release date is 2017.
