synopsis
A young prisoner, who wants to escape the fate predestined for her due to her mother’s lack of interest, recalls her childhood and why she ran away from home. The narrative is complemented with poems she started to write when her loved ones did not send her any letters. This portrait delves deep into the experiences of a psychologically wounded young woman.
“Sýkora’s portrayal of an individual’s ‘confession’ presents a multidimensional and forceful personal portrait, melding with the director’s attitude in a work reflecting high-quality filmmaking skills, mood and atmosphere, and is obviously linked to the filmmaker’s mentality, which is not lacking in sentimentality.” Pavel Branko
