The Karamazovs
''The Karamazov Brothers'' ( cz, Karamazovi) is a 2008 Czech film directed by Petr Zelenka with a soundtrack by Jan A. P. Kaczmarek. It tells the story of a group of Czech actors who come to Polish steelworks to perform a stage adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's 1880 novel ''The Brothers Karamazov'' at an alternative drama festival.
