Today, the CEE Screenings 2025 will take you to the Czech Republic and Slovakia presenting two crime hits from Voyo and Markiza's record-breaking daily series of 2025 – The Promise.


The Well
Czech Republic, Genre: Drama, 6x67'

Generations of Czechoslovaks know this case. But this isn’t just history. It could happen anywhere. To anyone. Maybe even to someone you know. In 1968, an ordinary family in the quiet village of Vonoklasy became part of a tragedy that still raises unsettling questions. Could it have been prevented? Was it fate, genetics, or something much harder to define? How do mental health, inherited trauma, and silent struggles shape the choices people make? The Jelínek family’s story spans five decades. In 1932, at a village dance, a soldier named Standa wins over the young and beautiful Marie. He is charming, funny, and devoted to making her happy. They build a home on the edge of the village, dreaming of love, family, and a future filled with happiness. They believe they can face anything together. But some tragedies don’t happen overnight. Some grow quietly, passed down through generations, until one day, they can no longer be stopped.


What Haunts Us
Country: Czech Republic, Genre: Mysterious drama, 8x60'

There are things between heaven and earth that happen to all of us sometimes. An overly vivid dream, an intuition, a fear without a cause, or even much less explainable events. The healer Jaroslav (Miroslav Donutil) understands people, their needs and maybe he can understand things beyond their understanding. He used to be involved in solving publicly known cases, but he gradually retreated into the background. His abilities help him in uncovering old secrets - whether it's a loved one trying to stay with their loved ones even after their death, a family haunted by a cruel mistake from the past or an old house that carries a curse. During one of these situations, they meet Petr (Martin Donutil), a cheerful and witty character, and above all an avid fan of all mysteries and secrets.While trying to get to the bottom of the mystery, Jaroslav and Petr don't just fight mysterious forces, but above all the darker sides of human nature, distrust and fear. The greatest danger is not in the supernatural, but in people.
