Overview
An intimate portrait of a director who devoted her life to film and was willing to sacrifice three marriages and motherhood to her creative passion. Drahomíra Vihanová, like a determined shaman of images, confesses her beliefs, from her initial condemnation by the regime for Zabitá neděle (Slaughtered Sunday, 1969) to the public execution of Zprávy o putování studentů Petra a Jakuba (News of the Wanderings of Students Petr and Jakub, 2002). This existential essay oscillates between contradictions and paradoxes, between documentary and feature film, between invocation, oblivion, and cats.
