Ludvík Chybík. Left: 20 years old, right: 102 years old. He was a postman and now lives in a retirement home in Zlin.

The incredible images tell the unique stories of each person’s life including one woman who was in the truck that hit and killed high-ranking German Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich’s son Klaus in 1943. Another intriguing tale comes from a 101-year-old woman who decided to leave her luxury villa after turning 101 and burnt all material memories of her life including letters, diaries and photographs. She turned up at a long-term care home with nothing more than a bathrobe and a toothbrush. The extraordinary portrait photographs are the work of photographer Jan Langer (39) from Opava, Czech Republic.
