A young female photographer strives to break free from the constraints of Czechoslovak normalisation after the Soviet invasion of Prague, and embarks on a wild journey towards freedom, capturing her experiences through thousands of subjective photographs. This film is as much a tribute to the artistic process and curiosities of a photographer as it is a revealing portrait of her existence, forming an unconventional but deeply moving coming-of-age story.
“The Nan Goldin of Soviet Prague was what The New York Times called Czech photographer Libuse Jarcovjakova. A comparison that suits her idiosyncratic style and preferred subject matter -work, sex, freedom, depression and introspection… a cinematic wonder.” – Cineuropa
“A beautiful and striking documentary that proves that simplicity is always a valuable asset.” – International Cinephile Society
