One of those he will ferry to the other side is Wenzel Winterberg, a native of Liberec, who is as old as the local crematorium and the Czechoslovak Republic. The nearly century-old man suffers from historical seizures, having worked his whole life as a tram driver and never having studied, yet he knows a lot about history.
