A series of detective stories where realistic old mysteries are linked with contemporary criminal cases. Our guides through all the parts are the author, who is fascinated by the unsolved mysteries of the past, and a student who has extra-sensory abilities. And of course the Guardian of Souls. 1. The Secret of the Temple 76´42 ´´ Directed by Juraj Deák 2. The Mask of Death 52´18´´ Directed by Dušan Klein Unique masks and statuettes, relics of Mexican civilizations, and their mysterious powers. How much of it is truth, and how can they affect events in contemporary times? 3. The Ray of Light 52´ Directed by Pavel Jandourek 4. The Tomb of Time 51´47´´ Directed by Dušan Klein Is there such a thing as a time machine that enables humans to appear in quite a different period in time? How else could the Victorian scientist have found himself in the woods near Zvíkov Castle, Bohemia? Did the ancient Egyptians hit upon the secret of traveling through time? 5. A Late Return 52´21´´ Directed by Dušan Klein What is the truth about the existence of extra terrestrial beings and their visits to our planet? Could they have landed here even in ancient times?

Madonna´s Gift 52´40´´ Directed by Dušan Klein The Madonna portrayed in a precious old painting has miraculously helped many people who were in dire need in the past. Is it possible that she still performs miracles, or will the most recent scientific knowledge explain all the mysteries quite prosaically? 7. The Last Princess 52´ Directed by Roman Motyčka 8. The Cave of Horrors 52´Direct by Ivo Macharáček 9. Demons of the Night 52´39´´ Directed by Juraj Deák Are vampires no more than the fruit of human imagination?
