About event
American Girl
A story about a girl who stopped running.
You go back to places. To the places where you grew up. You're shaking. You're sweating. You swallow. You can't avoid memories. Some are like colorful paintings. Some like punches. A child under the communists. Foster parents. Shepherd. And then velvet. And freedom you don't know how to handle. You've fallen a hundred times. But she rose again a hundred times. They didn't get you. You weren't alone. You had yourself. And hope too. I hope you get to America one day. Where daddy is waiting for you.
The American woman tells her story in an unconventional stylized language that resembles a surreal geyser full of colors, life and dreams. Although there is not a single realistic scene in the film, the intense feeling of reality does not leave the viewer's mind even for a moment. Nothing is real, and yet absolutely everything you see on the screen is real. Story. Characters. Scars. Everything is authentic. Here, the children play the real characters of abandoned children, and since they themselves are mainly from children's homes, they imbue the stories of their characters with their own destinies.
Played by: Pavla Beretová, Julie Šoucová, Klára Kitto, Lucie Žáčková, Klára Melíšková, Tomas Sean Pšenička, Magdaléna Borová, Vladimír Javorský, Zuzana Mauréry, Zuzana Kronerová, Nikola Trojánková, Bára Holzknechtová, Karla Bábková, Klára Bystroňová, Václav Neužil Jr., David Novotný and 350 children
