synopsis

A studio exercise conceived as stylized reconstruction of the Exctinction Rebellion's protest that took place at Zara store, on the Na Příkopě boulevard. Combining acting and an authentic testimony of twenty years old girl Néa, the film aims to reflect the inner states of mind that activists experience during the tough moments of "direct action".
