Mama poster
8.5

A dramatic story of a mother and daughter set in the late 1980s. The film tells the story of Lilian, a young mother whose life has not been easy. She has an intellectual disability and, to make matters worse, suffered a traumatic assault during her adolescence. The relatively idyllic life she shares with Mrs. Holasová, who cares for both Lilian and her young daughter Malvína, is shattered by the death of the eldest member of this three-generation trio of women. Lilian and Malvína’s lives are thus turned upside down literally from one moment to the next.

Changes poster
5.0

Four people who have nothing in common. The wife of a successful man who lacks only one thing to be happy – a child. She is willing to do almost anything to have one. A sports coach who has devoted his life to athletics is now past his prime and has time to realize everything he has missed. An old woman lives alone in a large empty house, without human contact, which she seeks in higher spheres. And finally, a young mother with two children. Her small salary and harsh life do not play into her favor. She struggles and fights, but perhaps the moment will come when she gives up everything. The visually captivating film Proměny follows four different characters whose lives intertwine only slowly and randomly. The individual fates and the plot culminate, and the film's bold concept inevitably leads to a final clash. What must happen for life to be different than before?

The episodic film MARBLES consists of several short stories about how women manipulate with men. About subtle blackmailings, about crying, about tears, about the ability to sacrifice oneself for a dream, about sex as a service, about the way we can use empathy. It all starts on the playground among children and death does not equal the end. As time goes by, a feminine mechanism of manipulation develops, shapes up, ripens until it reaches the stage of perfection. Individual short stories take place at a techno party as well as in a Catholic parsonage and they conclude in a content domestic routine of two old people which cannot be disrupted by anything – not even by death. The short stories about women of different age and lifestyle put together a story of one complete human life which was, thanks to the manipulation with others, lived according to the plan and at the same time and from the same reason wasted away.
