Venue: FACT

Director: Karin Babinska. Starring: Petra Nesvacilova, Sandra Novakova, Marie Dolezalova, Oldrich Hajlich. Czech Republic 2007. 99 mins. Czech with English subtitles.

This much-anticipated debut from Babinska is a coarse coming-of-ager centred on three girls and one little brother.

Iska, Karolina and Vendula are 18 and they’ve just left school. Denying their forthcoming maturity and the end to the blithe existence of their schooldays, they decide on a summer trip to Holland. When this is sabotaged by Iska’s younger brother, Vojta, they take him along and he becomes a witness to nude bathing, sexual experimentation and various identity crises, as well as a catalyst in the breakdown of their relationship. What we see is the painful process of uncovering the most profound truth in adolescence, reconciling oneself with it and finding the strength to start living according to it.

As their last summer trip before adulthood unravels, we witness the painful process of uncovering the most profound truth in adolescence, reconciling oneself with it and finding the strength to start living according to it.

This is the North West Premiere of the film, fresh from opening the London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival and is in partnership with The Made in Prague Czech Film Touring Programme.
