Can You Breathe?

Lucie Zpěváková / Czech Republic / 2025 / World Premiere / 9 min.


synopsis

The film is a space for the meeting of two places, between which the director seeks a connection. She attempts to embrace the roots from which she had to distance herself in order to truly breathe. The film explores different worlds and the tension between tradition and the desire for freedom.
