Děti noci

Night Owls (2008) of Michaela Pavlátová. New Czech movie with great performance of both main characters - Martha Issová as Ofka, and Jiří Mádl as Ubr. 

I am not the one to say if this was the movie to prove that the Czech cinematography is not in crisis - I am not the one to say the Czech cinematography would be in some crisis anyway... What I can say is only what this movie was for me. And that is very realistically pictured part of life of a Czech girl Ofka (which can be I dare say a Slovak or Polish without any doubt...). 

After high school Ofka chooses to stay home and work instead of going to university, as most of their classmates do. She works night shifts in the small non-stop grocery of her brother-in-law. The world she wanted to keep so much is slowly disappearing as the one she loves Míra leaves her and she drifts around the streets with her weird friend Ubr, who hopelessly loves her. Gradually she begins to realise she would have to give up the childhood and start to do something with her life...

Story going from nowhere to nowhere, still saying a lot to me, somehow seeing my own in it...
