synopsis
Ing. Ivo Špalj (born 1940) is the father of Czech film sound and through him we can get a glimpse into the various phases of the sound engineering profession. Adéla Špaljová's tender documentary shows "Engi", as he is known in the industry, in his further collaboration with Jan Švankmajer, whose films he gave a typical, dense, sophisticated sound. During his sixty-year career, Engi contributed to hundreds of films and became a mentor for at least one generation of sound engineers.
