Girl America

‘A visual feast that enchants viewers with its impressive compositions, absurd characterisations and explosions of colour’, says journalist Milani Perera (published on the online platform International Cinephile Society). This fantastic drama offers a refreshingly original perspective on the turbulent experiences of the Czechs (and Slovaks) in the second half of the 20th century. It depicts the experiences of Ema Černá (based on the real-life Zdena Vrbová), who grows up in the communist orphanage system while dreaming of a future in the USA. Her various stages of life are played by three actresses. A delicious spectacle full of unbridled imagination and insatiable hope.
