Great Girls

Jaroslava Tomanová / 2023 / World Premiere / 12 min.


synopsis

Great Girls take care of those who are unable to look after themselves. Thanks to these women, people from the villages of Šumava can stay at home instead of moving to hospices or care homes. A film about women who do care work as a job despite the difficult conditions on the Czech periphery. The needs they provide include not only daily hygiene, food and cleaning, but also the willingness to listen to or help those who are dying.

This film will be featured in the online edition of Ji.hlava IDFF.
