by Julia Orlik
A film about the relationship between a young woman striving for professional success and her eccentric brother. The main character is a workaholic who devotes her entire life to her job. She believes that this is the only right path and, even though it does not make her happy, she stubbornly sticks to her position. Her older brother has a completely opposite attitude to life and, seeing how his sister lives, tries to convince her to change. He often behaves eccentrically, embarrassing his sister in front of her colleagues and slowly making her life miserable. At some point, the sister has had enough of her brother’s insistence, which leads to frequent arguments and eventually to a breakdown in contact.

Almost all religions are convinced that they are right. I wrote this movie, with my friend Karel Vžtrovsků, in time when we were slowly breaking out of the Christian prison in our minds, where we grew up and where we were imprisoned for a long time.
